GlenDronach 1972

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 47%

Score: 95 Points

This was from a cask sample, and it’s a stunning whisky! Cask #710 is a new sherry butt filled in 1972, and the malt is a dark amber with a nose of burnt sugar and plums, with a hint of vanilla and spices. The taste is sweet and filled with fruit — dried apples and pears, with just a hint of smoke. The finish is tart and long with hints of figs and dates.
