Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet oak, spiced toffee and melted caramel, dark chocolate, orange peel, coffee, hazelnuts, sweet port
Palate
Dried winter fruits, raisins, port, milk chocolate, hits of liquorice, spiced wood, cinnamon, sweet tobacco
Finish
Long and lingering, herbal with a sweet cigar wrapper, toffee and spice moving to coffee and bitter chocolate
Overall
A very nice balance of sweet and spice with the obvious tawny port kick. Not as easy to find at retail shops, was around £65 but hitting upwards of £150+ at auction. One of our favourites of the Glendronach wood finishes.
