There’s a new exclusive bottling for the members of the Whiskybase community, a GlenDronach 1995 bottled from a Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon.

Now that the remaining casks from the excellent 1993 vintage are officially ‘on hold’ (read: reserved for official releases), most shops seem to turn to the 1995 vintage for their bottlings.

GlenDronach 19 yo 1995 (54,2%, OB for Whiskybase 2015, PX sherry puncheon #3804, 694 btl.)

Nose: starts in a heavyweight, bloated style, not entirely my favourite, with a certain old blend character and some oxtail soup. Big toffee notes, balsamic syrup and toasted pastry. Hazelnuts...
