[Good/Very Good] Bottled for The Whisky Agency, this single cask GlenDronach 1995 was aged for 18 years and is a recent release. Although matured in a sherry puncheon, it exhibits a well-balanced profile typical of recent Dornan releases, with sherry cask characteristics like fruity notes, chocolate, herbs and spices harmoniously blended. The balance between sweetness and dryness is well executed without the bitterness or heavy clay-like texture, making it a refreshing bottle to drink.
