Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают этот Glendronach как сложный, сладко-пряный виски с сухофруктами, шоколадом, кожаными и табачными нотами, при этом портовая выдержка ощущается не всеми однозначно. Мнения о балансе расходятся: часть отмечает доминирующую древесность и необходимость воды, другие хвалят глубину и долгий финиш.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах этот виски описывают как насыщенный и многослойный, с интенсивной сладостью и пряностью. В аромате и вкусе повторяются красные и сушёные фрукты (вишня, слива, изюм, курага, инжир), молочный и тёмный шоколад, карамель, марципан, кожа, табак, старая бумага/пыль, а также специи вроде мускатного ореха, перца и гвоздики. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают маслянистую, густую текстуру и долгий, согревающий финиш с шоколадом, кофе и орехами. При этом часть отзывов указывает на сухой, древесный и даже «индустриально-минеральный» характер, горьковатые цитрусовые и серные оттенки, а также на то, что виски требует времени и добавления воды, чтобы раскрыться.
Отдельная тема — портовая бочка: несколько отзывов удивляются, что при слепой дегустации не угадали порт, и предполагают, что это скорее короткая выдержка/финиш в порт-пайпе, а не полная 25-летняя выдержка, поскольку не хватает типичной розовой окраски и обильных красных фруктов. Оценки в целом высокие, но не единогласные: хвалят сложность, глубину и независимый характер, тогда как другие считают его не самым любимым и слишком дорогим для того, что он даёт.

Deliciously sweet, complex, and charming Glendronach full of red and dried fruits, spices, milk chocolate, and a touch of tobacco. In the blind tasting, I would have never guessed that it was matured in the Port Pipe.

| Нос | 91 | The shy aroma of milk chocolate, cherries in liqueur, maraschino, marzipan, old books, dusty shelves, and Dundee Cake emerges from the glass... Layers of dried fruits, brown sugar, leather, tobacco, ripe apricots, and plums are waiting to be discovered... |
| Вкус | 91 | Intense, sweet, surrounded by spices such as nutmeg, white pepper, and cloves. There is a significant amount of red and dried fruits, dates, raisins, wild cherries, plums... Then come the tobacco leaves and old leather, books, dust... The taste is dense, sweet-spicy, rustic, and dusty. |
| Финиш | 90 | Long, warming with chocolate, nutmeg, and cloves. Reminds me of the dark roast espresso finish. |

Old Port Glendronach. It's different to the old Sherrys, but soll good

A weird one. Quality is good but this needed a lot of time and water. Far from my favourite Glendronach.

| Нос | 88 | A bit cramped up initially, a few drops of water and half an hour plus of time reveal sour fruits, currants, raisins, cherries and dried plum. It's somewhat moldy with walnuts, sweet (red) liquorice, subtle chocolate, wet leaves and an earthy note. |
| Вкус | 86 | Cocoa butter, quite wood driven and nutty. Furthermore, there's sour currants and blackberries, sour cherry, some bitter citrus, notes of coffee bitters, liquorice and clove. The development is quite dry, spicy and dusty. |
| Финиш | 87 | Pretty long: some slowly degrading sour fruit notes, a dry nuttiness, dry peppery wood spices, chocolate and some sweet liquorice with warming wood bitters in the end. |

Blind tasting: A very decent albeit not spectacular Glendronach. I was quite suprised (like most of the other blind tasting participants) this turned out to be a port pipe maturation. Judging tastewise and colourwise, it must have been a short port pipe finish since it lacks the pink hue and the abundant typical red fruits and muddy finish I often experience with port maturations.

| Нос | 89 | Fruits galore with peaches, citrus fruits, appels and redcurrants. Dark sherried notes of lacquered wood and chocolate appear, together with tones of flowers and dunnage warehouse. |
| Вкус | 90 | Fresh, sour and sweet at the same time. Cherries, oranges, honey and sweet nuts. The palate is intense and keeps developing. |
| Финиш | 88 | Bitter citrus fruits, cacao and dried spices. Some minerals and a hint of sulphur. |
Pretty hard whisky, very strong industrial-mineral derivatives, although very skillfully balanced by more traditional sweet and woody tones, at the same time quite complex composition, sufficient depth and saturation - a product for an amateur, frankly.

| Нос | — | Open, dry, bright notes of old wood - furniture, products from noble breeds; furniture varnish, polish, juicy dried fruits - raisins, dried apricots, prunes; milk chocolate, cappuccino, caustic industrial-mineral tones, creamy sweetness, toffee, leather goods, shoe cream, tropical fruits - mango, pineapple; metallic shades - raw tin, copper. |
| Вкус | — | Dense, rich, caustic mineral-industrial tones on a velvety base of spiced oak and creamy sweetness, oh yes, there is enough sharpness here; coffee, dark chocolate, leather goods, pu-erh, burnt caramel, burnt branches, stout, metallic taste, ginger. |
| Финиш | — | Light, refreshing, oak, tobacco leaf, burnt caramel, a little furniture polish and polish, faint notes of coffee, toffee and dark chocolate. |

The nose is promising, but I'm not warming to the taste. The barrel notes are very dominant…

An exciting malt. Old, dark and leathery. You can tell it's 25 years old. I wouldn't have guessed it was a port cask. The sweetness of the port is missing. Instead there is a slightly sour woody note, but not unpleasant.

Something different from Glendronach's legendary 1993 vintage: a port cask maturation! On the nose: Dense and layered, initially a little shy but then there's a load of fruit and succulent sweetness. You'll have to take your time to deconstruct this one. Orange, apricot, plum, blueberry, passion fruit, fig and maraschino cherry. Then a milk chocolate/caramel combo, whipped cream, popcorn, molasses, marzipan and Crema Catalana. Some beeswax, pepper, almond, mint and a sour mustiness too. In the mouth; oily, mouth coating and it behaves like an older sherried whisky, with a sour tang. This definitely was finished on port instead of matured. Orange, raisin, plum, apple, cherry and mango. Very fruity again and ofcourse the sweeter notes haven't disappeared either. Caramel, Belgian praliné, jaffa cake, brown sugar and cotton candy. Leather, pepper, balsamic vinegar, walnut and a little smoked meat too. The finish is long. Sweetness lingers with caramel, walnut and ripe fruit. This must have been a ruby port cask if I had to guess. Then again, 25 years on ex-port would kill a malt so I don't believe this was a full maturation. You can be honest, Glendronach.. I won't bat an eye this time as it is a delicious malt! Nowadays way too expensive, unfortunately. Based on a sample.
the first time I had him at the regulars' table in the glass - today he gets more peace and attention and he thanks him - I like his independence, although he remains recognizable as Dronach - the dry acidity also reminds me of older vintages - you chew it really long come out delicious portnotes with a lot of tobacco - I like it better today - I would still not loosen 300+;)

| Нос | 90 | fine fruity acidity - unusually "dry" acidity for a Dronach, dusty book spines, waxed wood, a lot of ground leather with a fresh burgol note, laurel, nutmeg, date, (blood) orange, dry, slightly yeasty red wine, grape stems / seeds, with more time clearly tobacco - excitingly spicy-fruity - with lots of time also beautiful floral notes. |
| Вкус | 90 | somewhat dry, extremely leathery - freshly waxed, chocolatey, sour cherry jam, somewhat layered dried figs - laurel oil, nutmeg, pepper, freshly spicy peppery wood influence - rather light and therefore unexpected and unusual, |
| Финиш | 91 | slightly dry green wood, after eight, pepper, rosemary, tobacco, nice and tasty bitter notes - reminiscent of espresso, always a syrupy sweet and sour cherry note |
An interesting example of a Glendronach. You rarely see a port pipe of that age. In addition to the rarity, you also notice the high quality. The flavors are very meaningful, although I think it needs some watering. Great event.

| Нос | 89 | Pure - rum raisins, menthol, chocolate, cherry fizz sticks, sugared strawberries, dark and deep, Diluted - even chocolatier and rosier, |
| Вкус | 90 | Pure - red fruit jelly, again cherry sherbet sticks, good intensity, dense full aroma, Diluted - sparkling, more plum must, slightly low, beautifully fruity, |
| Финиш | 90 | Pure - chocolaty, red fruits, delicate wood, tingles, Diluted - fruitier, juicier, the wood shows itself a little more, opens up nicely |

you have to like the style - very dark chocolate, nice wood. I would have expected more balance with the price called - I am missing some fruit and some acid - it is already very spicy - chocolatey - woody side (Had him blind) Somehow the drone genes can be recognized - even if the port can be irritating. Nice whisky - I wouldn't buy it for the price

Balanced between sweet and dry. Berries, vanilla and a charred cask. Great and lasting for a loooong time.
