The GlenDronach
Sauternes Wood Finish
Aged 12 Years
The GlenDronach Sauternes Wood Finish expression was initially matured in European oak and thereafter finished its maturation in a very small batch of Sauternes wine barrels, which have given the whisky its own unique flavours and aromas.

Tasting Notes
- Expression
- The GlenDronach 12 Years Old Sauternes Wood Finish
- Appearance
- Crisp summer gold.
- Nose
- Torrents of fresh fruits, apricots and nectarine flow to honeydew melon and distant hints of overripe banana. A gentle aromatic floral note balances with creamy vanilla to give a sophisticated back note to the nose.
- Palate
- Wildflower honey floods over sweet sultanas and green apples. A dusting of ground almonds, vanilla and creamy toasted oak combines with a vibrant citrus twist, giving a rich, spicy depth and contrasting fresh balance.
- Conclusion
- Sweet, fresh and fragrant with balanced acidity. Lots of finesse and elegance, whilst still maintaining the lively youthful elements.
