Limited release from 2022 - I prefer this to the committee release Ardcore which is at a higher ABV not sure if the parcel of casks was bottled later and improved a bit for the limited release - more bourbon cask notes - maple syrup and caramels so maybe they used more first fill bourbon for this batch. Lemon, heather, salted caramel - bitter note on the finish
Reasonably high peat and smoke & finishes quite nicely. Pair with blue cheese & dried apricots & BBQ

As good as you would expect
It was really a beautiful dram. Cask strength. 12 year old Irish. It could have been disappointing, but in no way did it not deliver. Delicious, balanced, Irish.
In my YouTube Review this scored 5 out of 5 for Quality
The pinnacle of the Glendronach core range, the 21 Year Parliament, is a truly amazing dram. My review here: https://engineered.network/whisky/episode-22-glendronach-21-year/
Thank you Horny Pony for helping me try before I buy! (I since bought a bottle of this)
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
