August 7, 2013 - K&L Glendronach Tasting (K&L San Francisco): Amazingly smooth for 54.7% ABV, with toasty oak on the nose and charred oak on the palate, and toffee on the finish. The nose opens up with water, revealing notes of vintage Armagnac and coffee liquor; a little more heat this time on the palate (finally!), wood extract, and spice. Loooong finish of coffee liquor. 91+

March 13, 2013 - Nose: This is fun! Burned sugar and very grapey, like a Brandy de Jerez. Almost a mix of dense rye and pumpernickel breads. Christmas cake spices, and thick, syrupy rum. All-spice, cinnamon, cardamom, candied fruit. Some red fruit and berries, along with an oxidative note. Mince pie and more grape.
Palate: Immediately apparent that it's not as expressive as it was on the nose, and also a little drying. The mouthfeel of a thick spiced rum, but much more grapey. Not the most impressive, especially compared to the nose. Virtually the same notes here, just more muted.
Finish:Back to something interesting, and it's more nice wood, rum, and very good chocolate and coffee found in a good, well-aged sherried whisky. The finish adds some complexity, and really brings it home.
