Glendronach Cask Strength (Batch 11), 59.8%

Price: 100 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt Scotch

Red berries by the bushel on the nose: strawberry Pop Tart, raspberry cheesecake, red Twizzlers, and strawberry Jolly Rancher. Some toasted marshmallow, toasted egg bagel, and powdered doughnut sweeten the deal even further. The palate has more spice, with cinnamon babka and fresh ginger, plus decadent dark chocolate from flourless chocolate cake and chocolate-covered espresso beans. These dark flavors persist on the finish, as chocolate takes this one home.
