GLENDRONACH PEATED PORT FINISH 46% 70CL

The GlenDronach Peated Port Wood is a rare example of this Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, made in the ‘old style’, from malted barley dried with Highland peat. This imbues the spirit with regional notes of wood smoke and smouldering charcoal, layered over The GlenDronach’s archetypal fruitiness. Inspired by the historical import of casked port into Scotland during the nineteenth century, the peated spirit has then undergone a final maturation in the finest port pipes, from the Douro Valley in Portugal. Their whisky maker has hand-selected and expertly combined these port pipes, to create a rare and surprising expression of The GlenDronach. Appearance: Dark amber with a ruby heart. Nose: Wild strawberries dusted with cinnamon sugar, filled with sweet wood smoke. A warming hint of black pepper and a sprig of mint appear in the back note. Palate: Crisp, tart cranberry juice, fl ooded with waves of Highland smoke, sweetens to red berry compote, with rich, stewed barley and lingering, smouldering charcoal.
