GlenDronach 14 yo Sauternes Finish

A major first for Glendronach in it's 180 year history - a cask finish version of the Glendronach single malt scotch whisky.

The GlenDronach Distillery is famous for producing richly sherried single malt whiskies of inimitable and individual character. July 2010 marked the launch of the new Wood Finish range – the first of their kind to ever be released by the distillery in its 180 year history.

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.

Appearance:

Bright lemon straw

Nose:

Juicy and fresh. A blanket of creamed soda and wild strawberries backed up lush late harvest desert wine. Hints of sherbet and ripe cherries. Very fruity

Palate:

Apples and rhubarb drenched in home made custard. Sweet desert wine influences emerge with ripe sultanas and a lovely creamy heart. This 14 year old Glendronach is finished in casks which have previously held Sauternes wine

Appearance:

Sweet fresh and fragrant with balanced acidity. Lots of finesse and elegance, whilst still maintaining the lively youthful elements
