Glendronach 1993/2019 (51.1%, OB, The Whisky Trade unique, PX puncheon, cask #6853, 772 bottles) 
Some chocolate and a few prunes needs to be discovered… Color: golden amber. Nostril (neat): proper, these Mozartian Austrian candies full of damson prunes certainly, plus plum eau-de-vie. These issues kill – positively. They do have family-packs however the saying goes like ‘as soon as opened, emptied’. Or fairly like ‘you may by no means discover an opened pack that is not empty’. Anyway, that is good, past these chocolaty prunes, as there’s additionally some soups, umami, marrow broth, armagnac, Corinth currants, black pipe tobacco and whatnot. With water: oh, one thing medicinal! Previous embrocations, therapeutic massage balms… It is true that not too way back, Glendronach used to share its future with Laphroaig, beneath Allied’s banner. Mouth: historical type. Earthy, tea-ish, salty(ish), extra on tobacco than on chocolate. I suppose in case you cellar this for twenty years, you may give you some ‘Samaroli’. See what I imply? With water: grand. Will get dry, beautifully bitter(ish), with the fantastic trio, chocolate, espresso and tobacco. End: lengthy. And there, as soon as extra, one thing medicinal. Did they deal with an ex-Laphroaig cask with PX, after which stuffed it with Glendronach? We cannot complain! Feedback: very splendid. Glendronach are kings of PX. Oh and I ought to have tried this child earlier, fairly than preserve it in a silly ‘TBT’ field. That is ‘to be tasted’.

Glendronach 28 yo 1993/2022 (53.2%, OB, for La Maison du Whisky, Oloroso puncheon, cask #7099, 630 bottles)
This one’s model new and this time, I’m not late. Color: golden amber. Nostril: oloroso sweeter and rounder than PX, is that even potential? Until the cask was shier and the distillate, which is excellent at Glendronach as everyone knows, may have its say. This shall be one other 91/100, I can already inform you. Sultanas, menthol, guavas, coconut balls (however no vulgar coconut right here), then sorrel soup, cress soup, chocolate, Cuban cigars… Effectively, I’ve to say this one too has the look of a winner. And ripe bananas. With water: banana cake! Plus outdated high-brow Sauternes, posh muscats, and lots of apricot jam. Mouth (neat): yeah properly, this time it’s drier certainly, on espresso and bitter chocolate, plus black tea and tobacco. Umami-y issues within the background, particularly hoisin sauce. And now, the fruits I suppose… With water: I am reminded of some pipe tobacco I used to smoke once I was twenty (so very lately), which was flavoured with cherries. End: lengthy, with this admirable bitter, quasi-bitter signature that forestalls the entire expertise from getting too… decadent? Feedback: one other beautiful one, except you do not like old-skool sherry monsters. Nothing medicinal on this one, having mentioned that.
