GlenDronach 2007 - Purple Ranges Collection - Officially Bottled for Professional Danish Whisky Retailers

Another special Glendronach from the well-known Danish Whisky Retailers, this one I've seen on social media for a while until I finally got my hands on it. A 2007 vintage "Glendro", aged 11 years, this one was bottled at 46%abv and matured in Px casks. On the nose, it is very good! Chocolate Raisinets, Dr. Pepper, Grand Marnier liqueur and blackberries. Coffee, cocoa and hazelnut; some floral and red fruit notes. Milk powder (formula). Pretty much what you'd expect from a solid Px Cask matured Glendronach. On the palate it starts wonderfully. Strawberries, red fruits, chocolate and floral notes. The unfortunate part is that every sip became thinner, watery, and weak. The finish wasn't the best. Sawdust. Very dry. Peppery spice. With every sip it also became duller. Overall, this is not a bad whisky at all, but it might be the lowest scoring Glendronach I have ever had. The reason for this is that it became weaker with every sip; it lost flavor and strength. My score for it is 85 out of 100.

Aged 11 years in 2007. Bottled 27/7/2019. The aroma has sherry/port notes, with significant alcohol presence for 46% ABV, along with sultana and apple. Fruit notes are more pronounced with water. Hints of milk chocolate. On the palate: sultanas, citrus, and chocolate.
