On the finish, both whiskies received similar scores, with Macallan 12 scoring a slightly higher 5/10. The finish of Macallan 12 Sherry Oak was satisfactory but not particularly memorable or lingering. It did outperform the GlenDronach 12 by 2 points since it lingers more impactfully on the tongue. Unfortunately, the aftertaste can be a bit off-putting after some time.

The port wine in question is a finish, but unusually the whisky is first aged in GlenDronach’s typical combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez (PX) sherry casks. That makes this bottling kind of a “Double Fruit”, if you will. Ok, yeah fine it’s all grape, so one fruit, but you get my point. The whisky is bottled at 46% ABV, without chill filtration or added color, which is standard practice for GlenDronach and always a laudable choice.

This release is named after Scotland’s Forgue valley, in which the distillery is located, but that’s about the only information there is to share, except for the maturation in PX and oloroso sherry casks. Granted, that’s not super inspiring, but I guess that doesn’t really matter, because I bet there’s not much of an overlap between the average traveler and readers of this blog.
