GlenDronach is a bit of a one-trick pony, but boy, they know how to make a great sherry whisky! Recent batches of the 'Allardice' are much older than 18 years, and the age shows. Heavy sherry notes, oranges and rich spices bewitch the nose, intermingled with hazelnuts, roasted coffee and subdued herbal freshness. The taste is intense, full-bodied and very much in line with the aroma, culminating in a substantial, lasting and chocolaty bitter finish. Not quite as complex as the fantastic 15-year-old Revival, but who am I to criticize this superb whisky!

Nosing: 
Sherry, stewed dark fruits, morello cherry, oranges.Some spiciness, cinnamon and clove.
Taste:
Rich, balanced arrival. Fruitiness with orange immediately turns dry, with lots and lots of oak. Lots of concentrated dried fruits throughout.
Finish:
Long and spicy, but not peppery. Some intense orange peel notes showing through.
Comment:
This is an interesting one. The nose is quite frankly about as good as I can remember encountering in any sherried malt. It's complex and inviting. On the palate, it is very intense. Lots and lots of concentrated dried fruit flavours and bags of oak - initially overpowering, but once you acclimatize everyting balances out. The finish is long and interesting. However, if you aren't a fan of dry finishes, this is not for you. There's an initial burst of sweetness, but the character of this malt in general is very dry. It is expensive, but there's quality on show here, and I can tell that there is some whisky in this which is significantly older than 18 years. Something worth trying, but won't necessarily be to everyone's tastes.
