GlenDronach 12YR Scotch Whisky

The scoop

Normally sells around $60 elsewhere

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Tasting notes from the Whisky Exchange:

Nose: Sweet, rich and spicy fruit, with sugared lemons and limes, granny smith apples, honey and caramel.

Palate: Toffee sweetness, apples, a hint of vanilla and a rich dark fruit background. Water lightens things with more orchard fruit, but without diminishing the richness of the dark fruit hiding underneath.

Finish: Dusty wood, raisins and sweet fruit leaves

Comments: A solid sherried whisky sitting at the bottom of the Glendronach range but punching above well above its price-point.
