Delicious, moreish stuff. Can’t say I agree with the berries in the fanciful tasting notes here. Rich, intense, with a backbone of something I can’t put my finger on; want to say ‘malt’ (don’t laugh). Don’t regret buying it, but not sure I’d go for it again. There’s plenty of rich intensity out there without having to spend £98. Still, tasty, rich stuff
Update, after two weeks, and 30% of the bottle gone: I like this the more I drink it. The slightly off (minor) back-taste seems to have gone and this is showing tons of deep fruit and malty warmth. It’s hard to walk past the cabinet (no doors) without pouring a little one…
If you’re a cigar smoker you need to try this! There is nothing better….buckets of sherry sweetness and as smooth as a baby’s posterior!
Ohhhh this is a wee ripper!! Sweet, scorched caramel, brown sugar and fruit cake and a hint of spice dance all around your tongue. This absolutely beats the GlenDronach 21 which seems to not have as much charachter. Pair with some dark chocolate or a mild cigar. Just gorgeous.
In the late 90s Macallan’s 18 year old was my favourite dram. Sadly the cost of this sublime drop have rocketed, putting it largely out of my league. For years, i have been looking for a replacement for the old favourite, which i remember mostly for its brown sugar and caramel toffee aftertaste. Well, I think I have finally found it in this GlenDronach 18. Sublime, smooth, with all the toffee caramel i remember. A lovely drop!
