The 2011 Sauternes Cask is a limited edition rare cask finished, cask strength, and non chill-filtered Irish single malt. Inspired by the Giant's Causeway and the generations that went before them. This single malt has been matured for over 7 years in a mix of oloroso and bourbon barrels it is then finished for a further 2 years in Sauternes wine casks. The French wine casks that have housed this sweet white wine from the Sautnais region in Bordeaux bring an abundance of delicate summer fruit flavours and fresh grapes.
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
