Description

In an effort to compete with the Classic Malts of Scotland series from United Distillers, the similarly named Allied Distillers launched the similarly named series, Caledonian Malts, in 1991 (three years after their competitor). Alongside a new label for the Laphroaig and Tormore 10-year-olds was this Glendronach Traditional, a vatting of bourbon- and sherry-matured 12-year-old malt.

The finish has a nice little tug to it: medium to long, dry and firm, with oak, milk chocolate and raisins carrying through to lingering nuttiness. Earlier, the creamy vanilla and sherry sweetness meet warm spice and soft fruit, so there’s plenty to follow without the notes feeling like a jumble. I’m drawn to that contrast between the sweet middle and the drier, nutty close. A playful Highland malt with a finish that sticks around.
