Member Ratings and Notes

Adam

Screaming sherry in the nose, with cumin, cloves, ketchup, and wisps of worcestershire sauce. The palate -- holy sh*t. It's strong and big! And basically what the nose advertises, yummy, yet the very spicy aspects keep this a challenging single malt. Finish is long. There's slightly too much boozyness in the palate -- almost like someone poured a thimble of grain alcohol into my glass -- and without that this would be stellar. But it's still great whisky! Stuff like this usually costs a lot more, and I think it's a good buy even upwards of $100. B+/A-

Mike

Nose is sweet cherry and strawberry. Palate is hot! Finish stays hot and spicy. Very Glendronachy.

Dave

This is classic Glendronach and some really great heavy sherry cask! And finally a cask strength Glendronach! This seems to have fixed the fleeting finish problem as well as it stayed with me for much longer than usual. Love this and I will buy a couple of bottles. SOmething more in this as well....like strawberry puree...Yummy.

Chris

Very delicious sherry monster.

Andy

Nose: Overwhelming. I've never had to keep my nose so far. Cherried old wood.

Palate: Sherry MONSTER. This is like a more complex Glendronach Revival, still sherry bombing but a soft pine woodiness runs with the sherry toward the finish. More full than overwhelming. Bravo

Fuji

Dark sherry notes with bitter chocolate.
