I was excited to see GlenDronach release a port aged whiskey that wasn’t one of their hard to come by single casks. I really enjoyed this one and it made an excellent base for a penicillin.
GlenDronach Portwood
Age: 92
Proof: NAS
Neat
Notes: The nose is sweet and easy with honey, pear and dried dark fruit notes. The palate is more of the same with the addition of some holiday spice and a bit of oak. The finish is medium length and slightly dry with dark fruit and holiday spice.
Stars: 2 - Very good whiskey: I would want to have a bottle
TL;DR: Great release that highlights the port.
