Glendronach – Port Wood (70cl, 46%)

Glendronach Port Wood is a ten-year-old Scotch single malt, bottled at 46% in a 70cl bottle. It takes its inspiration from the port that came to Scotland in casks during the 19th century. After its first maturation, the whisky spent a further three years in a selection of port casks. The result is a fruity malt, with notes of ripe berries leading into a long finish. On the nose there are Victoria plums, blackberry and strawberry jam, with cherry blossom, honeysuckle, sandalwood and ginger. The palate is layered with rich fruit, baked apple crumble and gingerbread, and the finish brings orange peel, sultanas and cherry cake.
