Glendronach Original 12 Year Old Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 43%. Tasted at My Place Bar, $12.
Appearance: Dark amber, much like other sherry matured drams e.g. Glenmorangie Lasanta.
Nose: A touch of Christmas pudding.
Palate: Smooth entry, tastes of raisin toast and maybe dried apricots.
Finish: Quite a dry finish, with a warming sensation on the tongue that lingers long beyond the flavours have disappeared.
Comments: Like an average curry you order after a night out on the beers and you’ve asked the waiter to make it “Indian hot” because you’re drunk and you want to see if your mate can handle as much chilli as you…at the end it leaves you wanting more flavour but the heat is the lasting memory. I’ve never been a massive sherry-head, and this has done little to change my mind. Not because it’s in any way unpleasant, more that there’s just nothing that really jumps out and gets you excited.
