Nose: Acid sherry with a hint of dryness. Pretty interestingly composed
Taste: Of course, the taste is deep but slightly watered down. Pretty well folded. On the tongue, chocolate dried fruit and cocoa.
Rating: 89 Sherry finish, quite long. Good whisky similar to other single casks I've had the opportunity to try. In fact, it didn't surprise me.

Tasting Notes:

https://whiskycuse.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/glendronach-17-yo-single-cask-ob-cask-1482/

Glendronach 1996 - 2013, 17 years - bottled by Kierzek, 52.9% alc., PX Sherry Puncheon, barrel number 1482, 698 bottles in total.

Nose: Very deep fruit notes, plums, blackberries and quite a bit of sherry. Dry and leathery, a (still) pleasant Essignote, sultanas and towards the end, a hint of smoke can be guessed. The oak has already given off a lot of aroma here, the dry and leathery aromas, but also the vinegar allow for associations with espresso. A great nose.

Palate: Strong spiciness without exploding throughout the mouth. Subsequently, a cocktail shoots over ripe fruits. The drought beats again here and reports tingling.

Finish: Medium, weaker than nose and palate. I would have liked more. On the tongue remains a furry sweetness, as you may recognize sultanas.

Conclusion: top whisky, an excessive Sherrymalt. To try something like that is really fun.

90/100 points (tasted 2014, available for just under € 90.00 at Kierzek, Weitlingstrasse 17 - Berlin Lichtenberg) posted on my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/notesofwhisky PS: The keg was shared by Kierzek and whiskykanzler.de - so there are two different "bottled-for-labels"

http://www.weinkenner.de/2014/vier-1996er-malts-von-glendronach-im-direkten-vergleich-31860/ Color: Amontillado sherry
Nose: Thick sherry and much creamier than sister barrel # 1483. Notes of balsamic, coffee, cocoa, leather, but also tobacco with a good pinch of black pepper. In addition then sweetish gum flavorings without remarkable fruit content.
Taste: Sweet, oily, spicy - oranges and dried, red fruits with a lot of salt and sulphurous smoke. Also here much longer and creamier in the taste than # 1483 (clear taste advantages, since the wood notes only arrive late).
Finish: Long - straight, sweet aromas, less spicy, with a slightly more subtle wood notes.
88 points (nose: 88 / taste: 89 / finish: 86)

Colour:

Dark as the night - a truebe almost to the black going color, you can not see through the glass.

Nose:

Coffee, dark chocolate (the "good"), dark (over) ripe red fruit without being really sweet, the alcohol is well integrated, very light smoke associations with some sulfur (minimal), old leather.

Taste:

Oeliger approach, the "Bruehe" is as thick as she looks, dry onset, dried fruit (dates?), Even here light smoke, alcohol well involved. The sulfur is now somewhat stronger, but without disturbing, but rather "bearing".

finish:

Long finish, first dominate the dried fruit, and then "overhauled" by the sulfur, also slightly smoky here.

With water:

In this round, no addition of water, I wanted to enjoy pure. Next time I will experiment.

Conclusion:

Absolute grenade, the chancellor has pulled there. For me under PLV points of view with the Premium Cask one of the best GlenDronachs from 2013, absolute buy recommendation for lovers of heavy sherry whisky.

Currently 90/100
