Glendronach - 2 new releases





Glendronach Tawny Port Wood Finish 15 Year Old....$69.99
The Glendronach Tawny Port Wood Finish expression was initially matured in European oak and thereafter finished its maturation in a very small batch of tawny port barrels. Non-chill filtered and of natural color.
TASTING NOTES:
Stewed damsons and plum conserve. Raisins, sultanas and fine grand cru chocolate provide lovely depth and structure. Prominent rose wine hue, built around a light copper orange core. Fruit shortcake drenched in vanilla custard, with a scattering of dried figs, dates and wild strawberries. Smooth tannins and light acidity highlight a wonderfully long finish.


Glendronach Cask Strength Batch #2....$84.99
Cask strength and matured in a combination of pedro ximenez and oloroso sherry casks. Non-chill filtered and of natural color.
Rich golden amber with a crimson heart. Wonderful rich aromas of honey drenched raisins and sultanas. Candied ginger and orange peel are spiced with a beautifully delicate back note of warm oak. A perfectly balanced traditional sherried character. An explosion of chocolate coated raisins and zest of orange, mellowed with sweet warm oak spices, hints of soft toffee and gentle sugared almonds. A uniquely balanced classic finish.
