I have not had a lot of GlenDronach yet, but if the 12 year old expression I picked up is a fair representation of the distillery, I should! This Scotch has spent it's whole life inside ex-sherry casks. This, of course, has a dramatic affect on it's character. I understand this to also be non-chill filtered and free from colouring. Two excellent features in entrance level Scotch!
When I approach GlenDronach, I am immediatly greeted with a strong, deep fruity nose. Fruits like plums or dark cherries. This is quickly balanced with some oak or wood oil sents too. Inviting! Sipping is not as fruity as the nose. A bit spicy, some nice vanilla sweetness, and definitely chocolate. I find it has enough oil to feel coating, but not too chewy. The finish is fairly short, but has strong oak influence. Surprising for me, and actually helps keep the drink together.
This is the first full bottle of GlenDronach I have had, and I am enjoying it. Another reviewer online said it tasted like Christmas, and I agree. It has the sweetness of fruit cake with chocolate and a bit of nut or nut oil. If you enjoy Sherry finished scotch, you really should give this a try.
