Glendronach 16 Platinum

A rather unusual and hard-to-find whisky GlenDronach expression as it is a South African exclusive (although at one stage it seems there was some availability in Germany as well). Matured solely in ex-Oloroso sherry casks so expect all the rich and spicy notes typical of such maturation. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at 48%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Spiced honey and sweet raisins and sultanas, with a soft coffee note and walnut cake and a hint of orange.

Palate: Lots of stewed fruits and sweet sticky dates, a dusting of mocha combined with freshly cut herbs and a mellow earthy nuttiness of classic aged oak.

Finish: Sweet honey and spice fades over time with a barley note lingering until the end.
