Glendronach 20 yo 1993/2013 (52.9%, OB, batch 8, oloroso sherry butt, cask #3, 633 bottles)  Colour: full amber. Nose: very different again, this is shier but also seemingly more complex, maybe more elegant… So less ‘wham-bam’, with more flowers (orange blossom, lime tree), then rocks, earth, this feeling of old wine cellar again, a few walnuts, touches of balsamico, fresh almond and… gewürztraminer. I mean roses and litchis, but only wee touches. So heavy sherry can remain complex and elegant! A little bacon too (that’s less elegant, I agree). With water: an old cabinet of Partagas Lusitania. I smoke very rarely these days but these stunning aromas remain very vivid in my mind. Mouth (neat): it’s desert! Many honeys and many liqueurs, with a perfect combination of oranges, caraway, orange blossom honey, Virginia tobacco, candied ginger and a fistful of juicy sultanas to round this off. With water: ab_solute perfection. Love the dryness. Finish: very long, it’s like a grande finale. Love the bitterness, no aftertaste should be sweet in my opinion. Comments: I almost went for 93 points. This one might well be the best recent 20 years old I could taste. Very, very impressive. So, old Lusitanias, I remember very well when we first… But you don’t care, do you? SGP:462 - 92 points.


Glendronach 16 yo 1992/2009 (57.2%, OB, oloroso sherry butt, cask #1140, 598 bottles)  Colour: dark amber. Nose: perfect dry, slightly flinty sherry, old style and new pleasures. One just cannot not think of old Macallan. There. And I love these wee whiffs of old toolbox, tobacco and humidor. Mouth: jams and spices in a perfect order. Oranges, figs, papayas, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, milk chocolate, glazed chestnuts... All perfect. Finish: long, unexpectedly fresh, balanced. Some mulled wine made with Chambertin from a great vintage. Oh forget... Funny hints of 'silver spoon' in the aftertaste. Comments: a classic, very, very old-Macallanian. SGP:651 - 91 points.
