Whisky - Glendronach 1990/2003 DT 46%

Glendronach distillery is now owned by Pernod-Ricard of France and a core malt of the Teachers blend.  I really like this distillery and its whiskeys.  Who knows what will happen to the distillery now they are part of a large group with many distilleries, there is talk of someone attempting to buy it and I for one hope this happens.

Nose: butterscotch, toffee with a few drops of water a little varnish.

Pallet:  macaroons, a little coconut and definite but gentle Smokey toffee.

Finnish:  harsher than expected from the age but gingery and sweet.

Score:  85

Comment:  nice, I love the toffee notes maybe coming from a bourbon cask?  Duncan Taylor recover some face after the poor Macallan I had the other day.
