GlenDronach 1972 Single Cask #711

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 49.8%

Score: 93 Points

This bottling is exclusive to Kensington Wine Market in Calgary. The nose is warm with red grapes, plums, orange peel, raisins, and brown sugar notes. The taste is chewy and mouth-tingling, with an explosion of peaches, pears and red apples along with red grapes and brown sugar. The finish is fruity, thick, and tongue-coating with brown sugar and a touch of licorice. Amazingly complex.
