Tasting Notes

The Glendronach Port Wood 10 Year Old is a Highland single malt matured first in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, then finished in port pipes from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The nose opens with aromas of ripe berries, honey, and dark chocolate, layered with vanilla and subtle oak. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, offering flavors of plum, cherry, and fig balanced by toffee, cinnamon, and roasted nuts. The port finish enhances the whisky’s natural fruitiness, while the sherry casks bring depth and spice. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dark fruit, cocoa, and gentle oak.

Food Pairings

Starter Charcuterie with dried fruit or spiced almonds, reflecting the whisky’s nutty and fruity richness.

Main Course Roast lamb or venison with herb glaze, where the whisky’s berry and spice notes complement gamey flavors.

Cheese Stilton or aged Gouda, both bold enough to match the whisky’s sweetness and depth.

Dessert Black forest cake or dark chocolate mousse, echoing the whisky’s fruit and cocoa layers.
