GlenDronach Distillery

Appearance
Rich sherry-rosewood hue.
Nose
The GlenDronach 1993 sherried and flawless, powerful but prickly on the nose with some heavy oloroso influence as well. Notes of raisins, dried fruits, and chocolate, are all evident along with fresh leather and a bit of nail polish remover, raspberries and more herbal notes. With water there are hints of a dusty cellar, some beeswax and very light hints of a stable.
Palate
It has good depth in the mouth. Spicy, fruity, slightly toasted. There’s papaya and dried figs, prunes, and some hints of coffee.
Finish
The finish is very long and quite syrupy, getting drier on oranges and figs and less bitter notes in the end. Overall it is quite sweet.
