Glendronach Aged 18 Years Allardice Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (old Packaging)

700mL @ 46% abv
Allardice the namesake for the 18-Year-Old Glendronach under review, comes from "Allardes which is the last name of the founder of this fine Highland distillery.

Appearance: Burnished mahogany. The legs are nice and oily, with phat beads that stroll down the sides of your glass at their leisure. Oh yeah. This one s a big boy.

Nose: Oloroso casks immediately come the fore, with dates, prunes, and raisins. Powdered chocolate. There s also a subtle yet savoury thing going on here, which reminds me of rich meaty juices from a bison steak, and perhaps a hint of bone broth.
