Glendronach Batch 11 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Other reviews... Red berries by the bushel on the nose: strawberry Pop Tart, raspberry cheesecake, red Twizzlers, and strawberry Jolly Rancher. Some toasted marshmallow, toasted egg bagel, and powdered doughnut sweeten the deal even further. The palate has more spice, with cinnamon babka and fresh ginger, plus decadent dark chocolate from flourless chocolate cake and chocolate-covered espresso beans. These dark flavors persist on the finish, as chocolate takes this one home. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com

...We are really behind schedule; the last CS we tasted was the batch 7 from 2018, which had rather disappointed us (WF 74). One thing may explain the other... Now batch 5, for example, had been lovely (WF 86). Colour: gold. Nose: spicy earth, loads of chocolate, fruit peel, leaves, ale, clove, bitters, damp wood and just autumn leaves after a week's rain. Old stump and mushrooms. With water: gets even drier, earthier, with a rawer mineral side. Really a walk in the woods. Also cinnamon tobacco. Mouth (neat): bitter oranges and ale, plus a lot of maraschino and chocolate, Jaffa cakes, pipe tobacco... Looks like it's back! With water: sweeter, but with a spicy edge that we enjoy. Earthy deep-dried orange zests, old raisins, bay leaves, bitter chocolate… Finish: long, with some menthol coming through and more tea tannins in the aftertaste. Marmalade as the signature. Comments: rather a rough stone, but there's a lot happening. Looks like the bitterer batch 7 was an accident. 85 points - whiskyfun.com
