The GlenDronach 14 year old Sauternes Finish
Review by The GlenDronach
- Colour
Bright lemon straw.
- Nose
Juicy and fresh. A blanket of creamed soda and wild strawberries backed up lush late harvest desert wine. Hints of sherbet and ripe cherries. Very fruity.
- Palate
Apples and rhubarb drenched in homemade custard. Sweet desert wine influences emerge with ripe sultanas and a lovely creamy heart.
- Conclusion
Sweet fresh and fragrant with balanced acidity. Lots of finesse and elegance, whilst still maintaining the lively youthful elements.

July 2010 saw the release of 4 new GlenDronach Wood Finishes – the first of their kind to ever be released by the distillery in its 180 year history. The GlenDronach Sauternes Wood Finish expression was initially matured in European oak and thereafter finished its maturation in a very small batch of Sauternes wine barrels, which have given the whisky its own unique flavours and aromas.
