- Description
- A rare peated expression from Glendronach's Master's Anthology, aged in a marriage of oloroso and pedro ximenez sherry casks at a robust 48.4% ABV. Peat smoke weaves through layers of spiced fruitcake, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts, with the sherry influence adding richness and depth to an otherwise unconventional profile for the distillery. The cask influence is pronounced but balanced, creating a complex, full-bodied dram with considerable length. Best for experienced whisky drinkers seeking Glendronach's experimental side and those who appreciate smoke tempered by sherry sweetness.
