Tasting Notes by Malt And Oak

Appearance: Antique polished oak / medium ginger Long medium-speed oily legs.

Nose: liquid caramel & resinous oils. Apples and pears slowly simmering in sweet sherry with a pinch of mixed-spice. Let it breathe for a short while and allow it to change minute-on-minute.  Now the nose thins out and gives more delicate notes of sweetness with tart cherries, raspberry ice cream,
baked apples, and vanilla. Phworrr.

Palate: Boom.  This is superb.  Thick and rich sweetness with an absolutely beautiful
balance of sherry-reduction and spice-studded toffee.  The pepper tickle that follows is
so well behaved, it knows exactly when to roll on its back and submit to the sherried
richness.

Finish: Long and very rewarding with a sweet linger.

Water adds… More sourness on the nose, increased pepper and dryness on the
palate. The finish is long but with more dryness and tannin action.

Conclusion: It’s only 15 years old, but if this is any relation to the DNA that’s being
pumped into the Revival’s replacement, then we are all going to be a very happy
GlenDronach fan-family.
And it only seems like yesterday that the 2002 bottles were running around
in their whisky-nappies. Time’s moving quickly.  This is fantastic.
