Glendronach Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1970 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with rich mahogany tones and a coppery glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma floods the glass: dark fruit compote of fig, date and raisin interwoven with orange zest and treacle. Rich cocoa and espresso fold into polished oak, with hints of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. Subtle leather and tobacco emerge, lending a luxurious, velvety edge to the scent.

Palate

Velvety and full-bodied, this cask-strength Glendronach pours a rich sherry-soaked palate of dried figs, prunes and dates, with cocoa, toffee and vanilla. Cinnamon and clove spice the mid-palate, while oak and roasted almond lend structure. The finish lingers with dark fruit, chocolate and a warming, syrupy glow.

Finish

Opulent and enduring, the finish unfolds with dried fruit and signature sherry sweetness, caressed by toasted oak. Dark chocolate and orange zest drift in as baking spices mingle, then slowly recede to a velvety, nutty echo that lingers long and refined.
