The Glendronach "Ode to the Embers" Sherry & Smoke

The GlenDronach "Ode to the Embers" Sherry & Smoke is a unique single malt Scotch whisky featured as part of The GlenDronach's Master's Anthology collection. Crafted to highlight the rare peated side of the Highland distillery's heritage, it combines lightly peated malted barley with maturation in The GlenDronach's signature Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. This expression delivers a harmonious balance of rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, and warm baking spices infused with a subtle, smoldering ember smoke.

Food Pairing: Smoked brisket, seared duck breast, dark chocolate fondant, sharp blue cheese, and roasted chestnuts.

Tasting Notes : Deep bronze with a rich, full-bodied, and velvety mouthfeel that seamlessly merges sweet sherry richness with delicate, warming smoke.

Nose : Smoldering heather embers, dark chocolate, dried figs, pipe tobacco, rich treacle, and orange peel.

Palate : Layers of dark berries, espresso, caramelized brown sugar, campfire smoke, sweet oak spices, and rich cocoa.

Finish : Long, warming, and complex with lingering notes of sweet peat smoke, dark fruit, dried orange, and seasoned oak.

Serve : Serve neat or with a few drops of pure spring water in a Glencairn glass.
