Aussie Legend with his moustache on the label. Had to get this bottle for those reasons alone.
Tawny Port Cask
One of 195 bottles
When an Australian cricket legend comes to the distillery and follows a barrel during its entire innings, the result is naturally, another great representative for our country. Barrel 332 the same number as Merv Hughes test cap and at 53% abv the same number of tests Merv played for Australia, this bottling is a tip of the cap to the International cricket career of Merv Hughes.
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
