GLENDRONACH 1972 PX Sherry Butt 格蘭多納1972 43年 PX雪莉 單桶 (700ml 51.1%) Based on last year’s single cask series and the single cask for LMdW, 1972 seems to be a special year for GlenDronach,
Tasting Note~ Color:Burut. Nose. Plenty of fruits here, but not the obvious dried ones. There’s poached fruits (pears, yellow plums) but also overripe mango, blood orange, some passion fruit and notes that remind me of different sorts of fruit jelly (quince jelly, raspberry gums and cassis sweets). Some butter toffee. Faint hints of cardamom. It keeps developing. Palate:Continues in the same direction, with slightly sour stewed fruits and soft vanilla, but slowly changes character to milk chocolate and all kinds of nuts (mainly walnuts and almonds). Oak as well, but less tannins than in the 1971 version. Finish:Very long, slightly fruity but really dry with notes of walnut skin.
