GlenDronach – Ode to the Valley (70cl, 46.2%)

Ode to the Valley is a Highland single malt from GlenDronach, one of three no-age-statement releases from 2025 in the Master's Anthology series. It is bottled at 46.2% in a 70cl bottle, with natural colour. The whisky matured in a combination of Ruby port casks from Portugal's Douro valley and the sherry casks for which GlenDronach is known. It is said to be between eight and twelve years old. The nose offers summer berries, chocolate and sugar-glazed apricot. On the palate come blackberry, apple, gingerbread and damson plum, followed by a hint of liquorice in the finish.
