About Glendronach 12Yr Original
The GlenDronach 12 Year Old Original is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky produced by Brown-Forman Corp., matured for 12 years exclusively in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks from Spain, bottled at 43% ABV. What makes it special is its sherry-driven profile, delivering rich, fruity, and spicy notes in an accessible entry-level expression, available in 750ml ($51.00) and 700ml sizes. It's ideal for sherry malt enthusiasts seeking value without overwhelming intensity, perfect for newcomers to aged single malts or daily sippers. Compared to category peers like Macallan 12 Sherry Oak, it offers similar nutty, raisin-laden sweetness but at a more approachable price and strength, though some find the palate thinner than the promising nose suggests. Reviews praise its classic sherry bomb style with balanced oak and spice, earning solid marks for robustness despite occasional critiques on body.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Intense sherry aromas dominate with custard, nuts, dried fruits like raisins, apricots, and cherries, alongside caramel, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and hints of orange peel and vanilla. Some detect fresh fruits, melon, green grass, or clove-studded oranges and malty cookies. It evolves with white fruits, mint, or a cola syrup fragrance.
👅 Palate
Medium-bodied with sherry sweetness featuring raisins, ginger, cinnamon, oak, mocha, and orchard fruits; mouthfeel ranges from thin and simple to oily and creamy with tobacco, milk chocolate, almond, and pain au chocolat. Flavors build to a gentle explosion of spice and nutty toffee, sometimes grainy or spirity.
✨ Finish
Medium length with lingering nuttiness, dried apricots, raisins, oak, milk chocolate, ginger, pepper, and spicy sherry notes.
