From Whiskyfun:
Glendronach 12 yo (43%, OB for Previ Brescia, sherry casks, early-mid 1980’s) Colour: coffee. Nose: very dry at first nosing but soon to get both very herbal (aromatic herbs) and animal. Quite some thyme and rosemary, lovage, balsamico and soy sauce (or even Japanese oyster sauce). Goes on with huge notes of oxtail, game, lots of fresh parsley… Truly amazing, I love it! No sweetness whatsoever, except for maybe Smyrna raisins and old armagnac. Beautiful.Mouth: oh yes, we’re in the same territories. Starts on unsugared coffee but also oxtail (not mixed, eh), soy sauce, salted liquorice, balsamic vinegar again, a little bitter caramel, bread crust… We do have a certain sweetness now (roasted nuts, pecans, fruitcake) but it’s still beautifully dry and meaty globally. Keeps going on with reduced beef sauce, gravy, notes of Madeira… A huge personality. Finish: maybe a tad short but superbly liquoricy, salty and coffeeish, with alos notes of kirsch and plum eau-de-vie. State of the art! 92 points (would have been even higher with a longer finish – and thanks, Luc!)
