Glendronach Ode To The Embers Sherry & Smoke Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

A richly aromatic expression of The Glendronach, presenting intertwined notes of peat smoke, with a dominance of Oloroso sherry casks for spiced complexity, enriched with our signature Pedro Xime?nez casks.

Tasting Notes:

Colour: Smouldering amber.

Nose: Cinnamon spiced toffee, apple and caramelised walnut brittle intertwine with flamed orange on a smouldering open fire.

Palate: Raisin and honeyed walnut meld with bramble ganache and smoked chocolate fudge.

"Part of a trio of whiskies celebrating Glendronach s use of sherry casks, Ode to the Embers is a peated malt that leaps out of the glass with smoke and cinders, the dense peat melding with the sherry cask influence to create a meaty impression with barbecue spices and charred aromas. The palate dials back the peat and lets the cask influence shine: Ripe berries, apples, and heather honey blend into a slightly smoky, very fruity finish." - Shane English, Whisky Advocate (94 Points)

"Aromas of smoked charcuterie, smoked salted almonds, milk chocolate, and dried blueberries fill the nose. The palate takes on more of that smoky, meaty character along with salted pastry dough, Marcona almonds, and dried fruit roll-ups. The finish has a light whiff of pipe tobacco smoke and fruity sweetness mixed with a note of salinity." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (89 Points)
