GlenDronach
launches 18 Year Old Tawny Port Finish
which replaces the 15 year old Tawny
Port finish expression.
 GlenDronach
announced today the launch of a new
addition to their popular wood finish
range the new GlenDronach 18 year old
Tawny Port Finish which replaces the
existing 15 year old Tawny Port finish
expression.
The GlenDronach 18 year old
Tawny Port Finish was first matured in
European oak casks and thereafter
finishes its maturation in a small batch
of Tawny Port casks. It was bottled at
46% ABV.
GlenDronach tell me the maturation has
given the new whisky its own unique
flavours and aromas – in particular a
distinctive rich red fruit taste. The
official tasting note below shows how
the whisky and the two different types
of wood have combined to produced what
sounds like a mouth-watering expression
of GlenDronach.
GlenDronach sales Director Alistair
Walker said: "We launched our wood
finishes range four years ago and the
response worldwide has been excellent.
"We’ve carefully selected whisky that
has been gently maturing in lighter
casks so that aficionados experience the
full impact of the Tawny port cask.
"The very pleasing result contributes
extra depth and concentrated stewed
fruit flavours. It’s another outstanding
whisky that we’re delighted to add to
our portfolio.”

GlenDronach 18 Year Old Tawny Port Finish Tasting Note
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Colour:
Bright amber with a tawny heart.
Nose: Elegant notes of golden
syrup drenched over red fruit compote
with a contrasting red grapefruit
balance. Touches of cinnamon and nutmeg
add to a rounded, warm depth.
Taste: Vivid, tart
cranberries and crisp barley marry
harmoniously with stewed plums and
roasted apples. Cedar wood and sweet
cigar box spices add a delicate warmth
and unique complexity to the long warm
finish.
Finish: A beautifully structured
balance of contrasting rich fruit
characters and intriguing warm oak
spices.
