Glendronach vertical tasting note:
Nose: kalua (coffee liquor), vulcanized rubber, sandy/earthy, wood/antique, sweet sherry with a slightly sour element (89)
Palate: syrupy chocolate, a touch of smoke, waxy (90)
Finish: granite, coconut, black tea tannins, feels shorter than others (89)

Comment: My note below is a combination of a few notes. The above is from a Glendronach Single Cask blind tasting.
This bottling seems is more enjoyable for me with a fresh palate, next to others, especially heavier & stronger Glendronachs, it feels a bit on the thin & sweet side.

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

Gin clear

Nose

Sweet sherry ++, wood ( oak & mahagony) +/o, chocolate marshmallows +/o, red wine & red grapes o, (wet) earth o, fresh/peeled apricots o, cinamon plums o, spices (hard to place, cloves & curry ?) o/-, butter o/- (91)

Taste

sweet sherry +, wood o, chocolate o, spices o, gravy o, reminds me a bit of the Glendronach 15 Revival but much more sweet, voluminous & complex, quite a few dry tannins & even a smoke note inbetween, (92)

Finish

great 2nd wave/palate comeback, similar but much more silky & full/broad than the first, impressive. (sun) warmed wood +, sandelwood/sweet licorice +/o, marshmallows o, spices (cloves) o, (93) unfortunately the sour/bitter tannin notes which worked well on the palate for me come back most of the time at the very end as well which don't quite fit in here for me and give it a metallic feel from time to time (88)
