The Glendronach Port Wood Finish Whisky is a refined and sophisticated whisky from the esteemed Glendronach Distillery. This exquisite whisky, bottled in 2020, boasts an ABV of 46% and is presented in a 700ml bottle. While it carries no age statement, it is believed to have been aged for over a decade. The initial maturation in Pedro Ximénez (PX) and Oloroso Sherry casks is followed by a secondary maturation in specially selected Port wine casks from Portugal's Douro Valley. This additional maturation in Port pipes imbues the whisky with a rich, fruity complexity.
The whisky's deep amber hue is matched by its fruity and sweet aroma, featuring notes of blackberries, vanilla, apples, cherries, and oranges, with subtle hints of rye, plums, and sandalwood. This versatile whisky can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and offers a smooth experience without overwhelming peatiness, making it a delightful choice for fans of both peated and unpeated Single Malts.
