The aroma features noble old sherry, grape juice with skins, dried fruits, mint, floral notes, American coffee. It is complex and seductive, with a smooth mouthfeel. The noble old sherry expands gently and richly, offering a concentrated sensation with the tang of grape juice skins and a moderately sweet jammy berry flavor, balanced by subtle tannins. The finish is long, intoxicating, and very pleasant.
【Very Good/Excellent】
This is an official bottling of GlenDronach from 1968, aged for 25 years and diluted to 43%, bottled in 1993. The noble old sherry character of this era is clearly present but not overpowering. It has an aged quality while retaining lively elements like fruit juices, with jammy fruits and floral notes that are intoxicating. Due to the dilution, there are no rough edges, and both aroma and flavor unfold smoothly. While the body isn't heavy, the pleasant finish feels long-lasting. Overall, this Sherried Dornanck is excellent.
This shares some commonalities with later outstanding sherried cask releases like the 1972, but compared to those, this one has a richer juice character with less earthiness and tannic bitterness, making it smoother.
