This is something that I would drink all the time if I could, and I would highly recommend to others.

Pre-1996 distilled Glendronach like this also has a gentle peat influence due to its use in the first few hours in the malt kiln when the distillery still did its own in-house malting.

This is the kind of whisky that’s hard to get sick of and something I’d put in my top whiskies list.

Taste: Thick mouthfeel with big notes of coffee and mocha, but also dark chocolate, some nutmeg and a pinch of black pepper. Fittings include a copper mash tun, Oregon pine washbacks, four steam-heated copper spirit stills and defunct floor maltings. I like a sherry finish on an Islay for example, but in this one it's far more prominent, dominant in fact!
