The GlenDronach 18 year old Marsala Cask Finish
Review by The GlenDronach
- Colour
Rich burnt amber edged with sparkling gold.
- Nose
Golden syrup over stewed orchard fruits infused with a touch of candied ginger, hazelnut and warm, deep oak spices.
- Palate
Richly-spiced wildflower honey pours over fire-roasted apples, softening to golden sultanas and ripe pear. All balanced with vibrant ginger, white pepper, fresh-cut oak and stewed barley.
- Note
-
The GlenDronach 18 years old Marsala cask finish was initially matured in European oak casks and thereafter finished its maturation in a small batch of Marsala hogsheads.
The aromatic influence of the Italian fortified wine cask on the sweet Highland malt whisky is spectacular, creating a new layer of depth that stunningly marries together summer fruits with peppery oak spice.
