The first Whisky Sponge Australian exclusive bottling in a planned series coordinated by the Whisky List honouring Aussie Whisky Icons. First in the series is the legendary Melbourne Whisky institution - Whisky and Alement with owners Brooke, Jules and bar manager Lachlan - they need a larger label to fit all the other legends that work this bar and the W&A alumni that are now scattered around the whisky world. Wonder who is going to grace the next bottle label.
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
