Glendronach Single Cask 1994 21y Cask #3274

1.9 (brown sherry)

What immediately struck me was faint hints of smoke, or at least charred casks. I know what's in the glass, but if I'd do this blind I think I'd still put a very tiny charry whiff in the notes. It does seem to fade away as the whisky rests in the glass, though. It's kind of given what a single cask PX Glendronach is going to smell like, and perhaps hard to pick up subtle nuances and differences between casks. Especially when not doing them side-side-by-side. That would be a fun tasting! Anyway, obviously a sherry bomb. Rather zesty, and not too much raisins here, which is a relief. Apricots, chocolate, Christmas cake and a rum-like, thick sweetness.

Not completely dismissing that charry hint. It's still there, even after some time. A bit of citrus here. Lemons. Salted caramel - love it. Not much heat or spice.

Lots of oranges and chocolate. Tannic, red wine, nuts. Short-medium length, surprisingly.
