Comment: Great whisky. It taste so delicate, so smooth. Even for people who prefer peat than sherry this is a very nice dram. So powerful in taste. Lingering aftertaste which stay with this strong tea like covering. The only minus for me is that strong aftertaste fading out quite quickly. Very smooth, easy ad pleasant dram.

Nosing: 
is present, and is especially noticeable when compared side-by-side with The Macallan (12-year, an experiment I highly recommend)
Taste: powerful
Finish:
Comment: The deep, dark color of The GlenDronach 18-year old expression plays it's part well in projecting a first impression of quality.
There is a refreshing lack of sugar sweetness, or even honey (though I am fan of honey), in this whisky. There is absolutely a sweet character, but it manifests almost entirely as fruit influences.
I find that many sherried whiskies disappoint on the palate even if sensational on the nose. Not so with The GlenDronach 18-year old. It fires on all cylinders from first sniff to the tail end of it's lengthy finish.
