"The Glendronach Ode To The Dark is a robust and very grown-up single malt. It takes no prisoners and will be a must buy purchase for anyone that loves a big sherry bomb style of whisky. It is very much sweet and rich, then savoury and drying. The heady combination is superb. The distinct umami and savoury elements add a sophistication to the experience of drinking this, which we were not expecting. A fine example of the intense sherried style. Delicious." - Whisky For Everyone

"Notes of dark chocolate and prunes mix with the salty-smoky-yeasty aromas of salted baked pretzels from a push cart. The flavor is slightly gamey (like smoked meat), heightened by notes of milk chocolate, salted toffee, graham crackers, and tart berry jam. Fresh pinecone florals mix with dark berry fruits in the medium finish, which fizzles on the throat a bit hot." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (87 Points)
