GlenDronach 14 yo Virgin Oak

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 Virgin Oak Wood Finish expression was initially matured in European oak and thereafter finished its maturation in a very small batch of Virgin Oak, which have given the whisky its own unique flavours and aromas.

Appearance:

Light gold. Freshly harvest straw.

Nose:

Toasted oak elements which are so intense that smoky attributes emerge. Sweet and lush tropical fruits rise with prominence. Banana and cacao, with roasted coconut.

Palate:

Spiced ginger and cinnamon cake with a beautiful smoky twist. Creamed desicated coconut and fresh buttered toast with a handful of hazelnuts on the side.

Conclusion:

A glorious nut feast with superb depth.
