GlenDronach "Ode To The Embers" Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Price Statistics

Description

GlenDronach Ode to the Embers is a distinctive Sherry‑and‑peat release: a Highland whisky that bridges deep sherried richness and gentle smoke. At 48.4% ABV, it offers rich interplay of spice, toasted nuts, dark fruit, and earthy smoke—striking a solid balance between Glendronach’s classic sweetness and its peat‑influenced personality. 🧪 Origin & Cask Maturation Released in 2024 as part of GlenDronach’s Master’s Anthology—not an aged-statement—but crafted to explore less‑typical expressions. This is the first peated Glendronach expression, matured in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks. It showcases Glendronach’s signature sherry style married with Highland peat influence. Bottled at 48.4% ABV, unchill‑filtered and with natural color. 👃 Nose (Aroma) The bouquet opens with smoky warmth—heather and charcoal notes—blended with cinnamon-spiced toffee, flamed orange, and caramelized walnut brittle. Additional aromas include red apple, star anise, and smoked meat, layered over stewed fruit and dried goji berries. 👅 Palate & Texture Medium-bodied but richly textured and slightly syrupy. The palate delivers raisin, honeyed walnut, blackberry ganache, and smoked chocolate fudge. Earthy peat smoke is present but restrained—complementing rather than overwhelming the sherry-sweet core. Flavors of candied ginger, dates, and charcuterie oils emerge over time. 🔁 Finish The finish is medium‑long: a blend of smoke-tinged bitterness, cocoa, salted nuts, and lingering sherried fruit. Hints of liquorice, black pepper, and herbal ash round it out. 🌟 Highlights at a Glance Attribute Details ABV 48.4% - 700 ml bottle format Casks Oloroso + Pedro Ximénez Sherry in peated Highland spirit Style Rich sherry & spice with peat smoke balance USP The first peated Glendronach; sherry‑driven and smoky Best For Neat sipping, heavy cuisine, fans of balanced peat
