Our 6th exclusive KWM Cask of Glendronach is a twist on the typical sherry monters we see from the Glendronach Distillery. Glendronach 2003 Cask 1750 has been selected and bottled exclusively for Kensington Wine Market at 54.5% and 12 year of age. It was finished in a Virgin Oak Hogshead after maturing in sherry. Only 228 bottles came from the cask,
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: cola cubes and coconut icing start things off, with Dulce de Leche, silky caramel and Demerara sugars; the is orange, melon and chocolate strawberries there too.
Palate: silky and warming with building spices, more Dulce de Leche, Highland Tablet, Demerara sugars and eventually the soft caramel; more cola cubes, chocolate strawberries and orange rind; the melons and more exotic tropical fruits are there but buried by the weight of the sherry and virgin oak notes.
Finish: long, coating, creamy, fruity and decadent with sugars, spice and everything nice.
Comment: this is not your typical Glendronach, while the sherry notes are there the virgin oak has leant a wonderful silkiness to the nose and palate; if you are looking for a sherry monster, keep looking, if you’re looking for a slightly different twist on Glendronach, look no further!
