Bold fruit frames the nose and palate of this single malt. Mellow pineapple, coconut and blackberry lead into a citrusy midpalate, finishing with a flourish of ginger, cinnamon and cayenne.

This iconic sherried single malt scotch getsan extra-generous helping of fruit from maturation in port pipes at the hands of GlenDronach master blender Rachel Barrie. The result is a decadent and chewy dram that starts off with fig, dried cherries, and glazed banana chips on the nose. The mouth-filling flavors boast rich fruit, with chocolate-covered cherry and spiced Christmas cake before a lingering finish of drying cocoa and gingersnaps. Lush, creamy, and moreish in the extreme. Number 18 in the 2021 Top 20
