Staff Pick Notes

Cask strength Glendronach has never led me astray and this bottling follows that pattern. This Highland distillery is well known for their elegant and powerful yet finessed sherried malts dating back to the early 1800s. This Cask Strength Batch 8 uses Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks to age for around 10 years. Rachel Barrie blends to perfection. Despite the high strength, it isn’t overly hot or too tannic, though a few drops of water will reveal enticing notes. Dark chocolate, dried stone fruits, manuka honey, caramel toffee, ripe plums, and sultanas present themselves in such a killer dram that only gets better over time in the glass. I’m admittedly a Glendronach fan but I think anyone into Single Malts would love this..
