Review #2592 – Glendronach 21 Year 1995 Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon #3248 UK Single Cask Bottling

The Schtick: Distilled in 1995 and bottled in October of 2016, this single cask of GlenDronach was aged in a PX Sherry Puncheon number 3248 and bottled specially for the UK Market. These are typically quite decadent sherry bombs, so I am looking forward to this release. These are bottled at cask strength.

Nose: Rich figs, raisin bread, honey, toffee, maple, decadent baking spice and anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gobs of sweetness and figs. Stewed fruits.

Taste: Rich palate. Prickle of ethanol. Toffee, brown butter. Figs and stewed fruits. Pepper, hint of oak and buttered. Gorgeous brown sugar and nutmeg. Rich and tobacco driven.

Finish: Long finish, spicy and opulent. Black pepper, stewed fruits, caramels, coffee, maple, brown butter, fig bread, raisins, fudge and creme brulee.

Overall: Decadent as always but with plenty of complexity and a few unexpected adventures. Far from the greatest of GlenDronachs but also hardly slouching either.

Thanks for reading!
