GlenDronach 19 Year Old 1991 Oloroso Sherry Butt 2406

GlenDronach just presented its new batch of single casks, which were fine drams each. They made me look in my sample cabinet and lo and behold, I have two samples from 2011 releases. Oloroso Sherry Butt #1 and Oloroso Sherry Butt #2406. I did a quick head-to-head. Please find herewith the notes for cask number 2406.

The nose is not quite as sherried as I would have expected. This is actually quite fresh and sweet. Mostly gooseberries, but also pineapple cubes. Honey and a bit of caramel. The second layeroffers some roasted nuts and almond shavings. No need for any water here.

It is fairly soft and oily on the palate. Again, fresh. I get an images of lightly colored berries in my minds eye, instead of the expected dark fruit.

The finish is medium long with liquorice on the deathbed.

A nice, very quaffable GlenDronach.
