Glendronach 12 Year Old Original

General description

Very nice all around whisky. The palate follows the nose. The sherry cask maturation gives a lot to this dram.

General description

Sherry notes and spice.

General description

fruchtig / spicy / Vanille

General description

very warm and full, and not at all what I expected...

Nose

fruity with hint of vanilla

Palate

starts off spicy... gives way to a Sherry and oak taste.. very full flavored for me tasted very thick...

Finish

a grapefruit taste slowly faded into almost a nutty flavor that lingered for a very long time

General description

Sherry, fruits and subtle sweetness. with light chocolate notes. GlenDronach is one of the best when it comes to Sherried Whiskies. It is fairly priced and if you have any love for Sherry whiskies, you need to get this one.

General description

Strong, smooth and spicy. Some earthiness and wood, no smoke and not sweet.

General description

One of the best whisky.

Dominant Sherry flavor. Great sweet aftertaste.

General description

zacht zoet met tofee en noten.

General description

hinting at the depth of the 18-year, but is a bit chemical for my taste.

General description

Ik kan er kort over zijn: geweldig!! En neus van donker, sappig fruit, toffee, rozijnen en iets als een nat herfst bos. De smaak is zoet, kruidig, fruitig, sherry en vol. En droog mondgevoel en een bittertje als van cacao tot slot. Wauw !

rozijnen, donker rood fruit, herfstbladeren

Palate

rood fruit, kruidig, vanille

kruidig, vanille, cacao

This certainly is a sherry monster; packed full of dried fruits, golden syrup and spice.

My favorite sherry matured 12 year old whisky. Matured in a combination of PX & oloroso sherry amazing value for money sweet and fruity on the palate nose floral notes the finish is medium smooth and sweet this is a must try whisky especially at this price range.

Wärmend und an Fruchtmarmelade erinnernd. Etwas für die kalten Tage.
Feiner Tropfen.

At last, the long awaited tasting of my Glendronach 12Y (bottled 2013) which is actually 18Y because of the 6Y distillery closing.
For more info on this topic check: https://wordsofwhisky/glendronach-is-a-lot-older-than-the-label-says/

This dark amber 43% Speysider spent it's years on a combination of PX en Oloroso wood.
It is unfiltered and uncoloured.

After pouring, sweet dark sherry fruit raises from my (with long legs covered) glass. Raisin, prune, blackberry and vanilla lead out but ginger, hazelnut and bakery oven complete this wonderful nosing.
Alcohol is nicely hidden.

Harsh and hefty sherry oak on the palate at first zip. It feels a lot stronger than the 43% at this point. But with every following zip, the palate improves. Until it all ends in a soft sweet and creamy coffee, caramel and spicy fruit.
Nice improvement of the hefty start.

The medium sweet warm teethcovering finish, offers heavy dark sherry and dry spicy oak along with a nutty toffee. Very nice and the best part of the tasting.
Powerful tasteful and balanced I would call this one.

I didn't have this 12Y without the 6Y bonus, so I have to guess that this bonus one became heavier, oakier and darker with every bonus year duh.

I liked this one very much. It's a heavy sherrie bomb that comes very close to the Allardice.
I have to rate this with at least 92 points.
Cheers!
Go get yourself one of this bonus year bottlings.

General description

Lovely whisky to relax with. Tastes like walking through a cherry orchard.

General description

Lekker mild

General description

stark Sherry in der Nase, süss, Vanille- im Mund sehr angenehm mit mittlerem Abgang. Sehr schön für den Preis

General description

mooi startende whisky

General description

Sweet sherry, orange fruit, and vanilla on the nose. Very enticing beginning which doesn't disappoint on the taste. Rich and creamy with fruit and honey on the palate. Silky smooth finish with a slightly nutty and slightly bitter orange aftertaste. Really engaging for a 12 year old.

Nose

Sherry, orange, vanilla

Palate

fruit and honey

Finish

nuts and bitter peels

General description

this is my defining meaty, sherried scotch. full bodied, richly sweet, it tastes of ripe red fruits.

General description

Very good for the price. I liked the rich smell of nuts. Didn't like wet ashes in the finish.

Nose

nuts

Finish

wet ashes

General description

I had a very good approach with this whisky. Rich and fruity nose and quite comes sweet taste.
While going deep into it, it revealed a bit flat, especially for the sweet sherry notes. Not bad at all, but you can find something better for a similar price.

General description

Wow! What a strong nose of fresh oranges, or orange zest. Remind me a bit of La Copa vermouth. Sweet and smooth on the tongue followed by a bit of spiciness. Still some orange zest. Longer finish than I was expecting. The only place I notice a hint of smoke is in the finish. I'm impressed.

General description

Fantastic tasting whisky, best for price range, sweet, smooth yet complex taste, giving pleasure determining the various flavours present, medium to long finish

General description

schmeckt genauso wie der glendronach 2004 aber nur ein kleines bisschen schwächer

Nose

intensiv alte Fruechte

Palate

yeah good, brennt in der Zunge. bleibt lange im Mund

General description

heerlijke volle whisky met een hele volle afdronk. zeer de moeite waard!!

General description

Sehr gute Sherry Bombe

General description

lekkere whisky​ niet te zoet.
voor mij een blijver

General description

Nice sherry dram

General description

Very, very nice! Pricier than I like, but you get what you pay for with this Highlander. Complex and flavorful, this would be my go-to Highlands whisky if not for my limited budget.

General description

very tasty sherry cask whisky!!!

General description

redelijke middenmoot
