General description

Smooth, sherry flavoured whiskey. Not sharp on the nose, or tongue. Just enough zing to it. Vanilla, fruity and very enjoyable.
An excellent Highland whiskey.

General description

This bottle is the definition of smoothness. Sherry nose with cream.
It is not a sherry bomb, but has a lot of its influences. This doesn't bother me because at not even one moment, I am overwhelmed by it, but guided by the sweet, vanilla and slight oaky mouthful along with cream. The finish is not strong, but long, like it should be. This is one of the best price-quality whiskies available.

General description

Upon removing the cork an intense sweet aroma somewhat akin to red wine welcomes you. The sip is honeysweet with a simultaneous "bite" that makes it enjoyable to roll the Wisky along your tongue, providing stimulus from the sweet tip all the way through the bitter rear. That leaves you with both an aftertaste as well as an afterscent, with a strong sherry character. It stands out so much, providing a gratifying feeling after the drink, in the same category as post-copulation fulfillment.

Sherrybomb

General description

excellent whiskey

General description

Der duale Sherryeinfluss prägt diesen Whisky massiv und sehr angenehm.
In der Nase Vanille, Rosinen und reife Beeren. Cremiges Mundgefühl mit tiefer, schwerer, sherrygeprägter Fruchtsüsse. Im nicht allzu langen Abgang kommen pfeffrige Noten sowie die Bitterkeit des Holzes hinzu.
Guter und süffiger Malt mit gutem PLV!

General description

Rich and unctuous sherry and more sherry. Honey and butter and nuts. Very good.

General description

Oh that's good. Sherry, oh so smooth, friendly, mild. Wow, I've been missing out. excellent bang for the buck. Would buy again.

Nose

All sherry and sherry funk, though mild. Raisins, dates, figs, an amalgamation of dark fruits. Slight carmel.

Palate

There are those dark fruits, dusted lightly in powdered sugar. Mild fruit glazed doughnuts.

Finish

Glaze remains. Red berries and mineral water. I could live in this finish.

Delightful, medium finish, peppery spice, winey👍

General description

Tej whisky poprostu trzeba spróbować. Najlepsza podstawka w kategorii ex-sherry. Słodka, winna, treściwa.

General description

The sherry finish is certainly evident from start to finish. It is easily picked up on the nose and it comes right to the fore front on the palate. Easy, pleasant drinker when you want something on the sweet side.

General description

The GlenDronach 12 year old is a popular entry-level example of the “sherry bomb” style of single malt whisky

Palate

Warm, rich oak and rich sherry sweetness, soft fruits like raspberries, cherries and pears. Hints of raisins. Full mouth feel and delicious

General description

A great Highlands representation and a good introduction to sherry monsters

Bold flavors, but lacking in body and finish

Nose

Vanilla. Sherry, lots of sherry. Young oak (spicy) and fruit.

Definitely the best part of this whisky!

Palate

More sherry. Toffee. Dried fruit. Oak. Citrus, almost more a orange zest (bitter and spicy) velvety.

Finish

Not very long. The sherry, citrus and dried fruits are what linger.

probably in my top 5 Whiskies that I've had, love me a PX Cask and this drop screams it, those sweet Xmas fruit flavours just take you straight to Fruitcake and gets you wanting to go back for more.

General description

Very gentle and friendly Sherry with sweetness and fruit, lovely dram to relax with.

General description

easy to drink, very soft and easy whisky to enjoy throughout the week

General description

Hot and boring. Avoid!

General description

My go to "simple" sherry dram. a lovely combo of spices like nutmeg, ginger with a strong sweetness and sherry palate

General description

Total sherry bomb. it starts with Cinnamon and Baking spices, quickly turning to a nuttiness that's almost bitter. It reminds me of raw walnuts. The sherry fruitiness takes over and gives tons of dried fruit and honey, I even get grapes on the nose. The finish is long and warm, much nicer than you'd expect from 43%. I definitely recommend it for sherry fans.

General description

General description

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

Nose

fruity with hint of vanilla

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

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

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
