GlenDronach Port Wood Whisky. Indulge in the historical allure of The GlenDronach Port Wood, a whisky inspired by the 19th-century tradition of importing casked port into Scotland. In this nod to the past, The GlenDronach pays homage to the exquisite port pipes that once made the journey from Portugal's Douro Valley to Scotland's wine cellars. Drawing on this legacy, selected port pipes from this prestigious region cradle The GlenDronach for a second maturation of three years.
Meticulously curated by the Master Blender, this ten-year-old expression boasts a fruit-filled profile, where layers of ripe berries gracefully unfold, leading to the whisky's signature long and lingering finish. Immerse yourself in the rich heritage and exquisite craftsmanship encapsulated in The GlenDronach Port Wood, a testament to the enduring connection between Scotland and Portugal's Douro Valley.
Pouring into the glass with an intense cherry wood hue, the nose unveils delightful waves of Victoria plum, bramble, and strawberry jam. Top notes of cherry blossom and honeysuckle dance on a base of sandalwood and ginger, creating a harmonious olfactory symphony.
The palate offers layers upon layers of rich fruits, inviting a sip of blackberry and roasted apple crumble accompanied by the comforting warmth of freshly baked gingerbread. This evolves into a baked orange and black cherry back-note, providing a nuanced and intricate palate. As the journey concludes, savour the lingering notes of orange peel, sultana, and cherry cake, gracefully leading into a richly fruity finish.
