GlenDronach Port Wood is inspired by the historic importation of cask port to Scotland in the 19th century. In the 1800s, port was 'de rigueur', and many of the finest port casks (pipes) traveled from Portugal, along its Douro River, to the wine cellars of Scotland's nobility. Although many years have passed, Portugal's majestic Douro Valley is still renowned for its exceptional port. We have selected some of its finest 'pipes' to house The GlenDronach for a second three-year maturation period.
Nose: Glenmorangie 18 Year Old Infinita The reveals notes of ripe fruit, vanilla and toffee, accompanied by a subtle woody touch. Feel: On the palate, this single malt reveals flavors of tropical fruit, sweet spices and honey, for a balanced and elegant taste experience. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving notes of cocoa, dried fruit and toasted oak on the palate, for a deliciously lingering conclusion.
Nose: Smooth and soft. Orange cream cake, a hint of vanilla, light slivered almond note and a slight green note. A drop of water enhances the waxy note.
Mouth: Creamy, sweet, note of Seville orange peel before drying out, a little peppery spiciness. A drop of water softens the taste and reduces acidity, but does not alter the overall profile.
