Glendronach 9 Years Old 2006 SMWS Single Cask 96.8 Relaxing in an Alpine Meadow 70cl

1 of 172 bottles only. Not many remain intact at all since some are opened at the clubs, some bought and drunk and only few are left later on.

If you know what the SMWS is then you know how great the single casks turned out by them are.

The nose was attractive, buttery, light and summery – lemon puff biscuits, croissants, honey, meringue, strawberry, vanilla, flower meadows and fresh laundry – plus medicinal, herbal hints of Covonia and Jaegermeister. The palate was bathed in honey, which, with some camomile, mint and crisp white wine notes suggested mojitos. At natural strength the palate also displayed muscular heat (woody spices and Extra Strong Mints). The reduced nose took us to summer Alpine meadows, where we relaxed, making daisy chains and sipping home-made lemonade. The palate was now much more easy-drinking – barley sweetness, dried raspberries in cereal and light liquorice on the finish.
