The GlenDronach
TAWNY PORT WOOD FINISH
AGED 20 YEARS
July 2010 saw the release of four new GlenDronach Wood Finishes – the first of their kind to ever be released by the distillery in its 180 year history. The GlenDronach 20 Years Old Tawny Port Wood Finish was initially matured in European Oak and thereafter finished its maturation in a very small batch of Tawny Port casks, giving the whisky its own unique flavours and aromas. Bottled at 46%, non chill filtered and natural colour.
46% ABV
Tasting Notes
- Appearance
- Bright amber with a subtle tawny edge.
- Nose
- Lashings of fine fortified wine elements and a generous portion of Mediterranean fruits including figs and dates.
- Palate
- Stewed fruits of prunes, pears and apples. The stewed fruit is balanced with an injection of liquorice and subtle aniseed flavours. Massive power and definition.
- Conclusion
- A complex dram with a fantastic fortified backbone.
