Historically GlenDronach used peat when making whisky in their early days and through time have altered this method of making whisky. We see traditional methods being used here to create a whisky which is certainly a stand out in the range they provide. The peat used does not shadow the GlenDronach character we have grown to love, instead it compliments the flavours of the spirit and the sherry influence taken from the barrel.

Peated Perfection – Tasting Notes

Colour: Light gold.

Nose: Herbal, fresh and slightly grassy. Dry, herbal peat, quite soft though. Hint of ash, some stewed fruits. Spiced vanilla, and a little lemon zest.

Texture: Very nice. Medium weight, no heat, nicely drinkable. Typical Glendronach.

Taste: Nice dry, crumbly peat, and more of it than I expected. Some warming wood spices, and a little wood ash. Vanilla cream, and fresh malted barley.

Finish: Medium. Hint of soft smoke, some buttery oak and golden barley. Then some more of that dry, soft peat, and creamy vanilla.
