Staff Pick Notes

Master Blender for Glendronach Dr. Rachel Barrie: “I am inspired most by nature and my senses inform me more than anything. When nosing a whisky, I am not thinking about anything else. I am there with nature, in the here and now, absorbing it, with no constraints”. She’d also tell you that this cask strength and beautifully sherried expression from Glendronach has the richness and full bodied unctuousness reminiscent of Scotch from the 60s and 70s, when cask strength bottlings were the norm. I’ve been looking forward to the batch 12 and it is seriously good. Orange liqueur, clove, and warm honey nut notes on the nose. Expensive cherry chocolates, toffee, and apple cinnamon on a chewy palate and a stick to the rubs finish. As with all expressions of The Glendronach, all of the natural color is drawn from slow maturation in Spanish oak.
