GlenDronach Tawny Port 15YO
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 46%
Score: 93 Points
This single malt was matured in European Oak barrels, then finished in Tawny Port wine casks. The result is a whisky with a nose full of fruit: red grapes, blackberry cobbler, and raisins along with caramel candy, butterscotch, almonds, and dark chocolate. The taste has a red wine sweetness with fresh-baked blackberry cobbler, hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, butterscotch, dark chocolate, and a touch of citrus tartness. The finish has that same cobbler note, along with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and honey. Excellent! (April, 2014)
