Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed December 2017Aged in former American whiskey casks, then finished in barrels that previously held PX and oloroso sherries, this single malt balances sweetness, spice and oak. Caramel and vanilla aromas are echoed on the velvety palate, plus cocoa and espresso, finishing with clove, cinnamon and a hint of lemon peel. (KN)

Whisky Advocate
Wet pine bough, tobacco leaf, tea, light rancio, and dark fruit aromas on the nose, as the sherry cask lets you know it’s in the game. More pronounced sherry notes on the palate—chocolate brownies, tiramisu, and a hint of candle wax. Water unlocks chocolate, baking spice, and cinnamon bread. Smooth and creamy on a finish that adds drizzled caramel and honeyed almonds. Balanced sweetness and very smooth sipping—a treat for sherried scotch fans. (DF, Summer 2021)
Notes
Glendronach 12 has become a staple for so many sherry loving drinkers. Unfortunately, just as they were really hitting their stride they made the terrible decision to start chill filtering all of their core lineup. This yanks out that rich mouthfeel in the name of a consistently clear product. We've secured the last of the non-chillfiltered stock of this beloved classic. Rich Oloroso and a kiss of PX sherry make this classic Highland malt a dark and sumptuous dram.
