| The distillery Glendronach was acquired in 2016 by the company Brown Forman, the owner of Jack Daniel’s. It is equipped with nine larch washbacks, two wash stills with a capacity of 13,500 liters each, and two spirit stills with a capacity of 6,800 liters each. Following the single casks #7274 and #7099 from the collections À la Conquête des Origines and Antipodes, both distilled in 1993, this vintage from 1994 showcases exceptional verve and evocative power, akin to its chocolatey flavors. | |

Nose : Rich and smooth. Remarkably fruity freshness (orange, mango) leads us into a heady world dominated by essences of precious wood, wax, and varnish. Upon airing, licorice and chocolate intensify alongside voluptuous scents of blood orange and apricot. Palate : Clear, dynamic, and well-balanced. The initial palate is saline, fruity (mandarin pulp), spicy (star anise, cardamom), and licorice-driven. Mid-palate reveals tertiary notes of cep mushroom and tar, infused with verbena, thyme, and sage. Finish : Long and silky. The start of the finish is covered in a fine layer of salted butter caramel, mineral (slate), herbaceous (clover), and smoky (pipe tobacco). Towards the back, red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant) highlight its complexity. |
