Think of this as a limited edition place holder for the 12 Year. Exclusively bottled for Canada, this 2009 vintage whisky was matured in PX Sherry and is bottled at 43%.
GlenDronach is having trouble getting some of their core skus in to our market on account of a dispute between the old importer and the new one. This product was created to bridge the gap!
700 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: nutty with soft leather, raisins, chocolate and syrup; doughy with baking spices, vanilla icing and dry grasses.
Palate: rich and nutty its starts slow but builds in to decadent spices, syrup and cooked raisins; sweet and dumpy with black licorice and dark chocolate; candied orange and chewy malt; late vanilla, dunnage warehouses and minty-floral-tones.
Finish: medium in length with leather, spices and candied fruit.
Comment: released to replace the 12 Year, at least in Alberta; this is quintessentially GlenDronach and a lovely dram; I think it would have been improved at 46%, but I digress; the nose is good and the palate is better; very quaffable stuff!
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Sweet orange and bramble fruit with chocolate and nutmeg-spiced sultana.
Palate: A burst of red berry fruit compote and mandarin orange, softened by creamy, vanilla-rich milk chocolate.
Finish: Lingering currant and Morello cherry with barley sugar and traces of ginger.
