Tasting Notes
Ode to the Dark is The Glendronach’s most opulent creation within the Master’s Anthology, a series celebrating the full spectrum of sherry cask maturation. Crafted exclusively from exceptional Pedro Ximénez casks and bottled at high strength, this expression is a deep, indulgent dive into layers of chocolate, dark fruit, and sweet spice. It is an invitation to linger in the depths of sherried splendour.
Nose:
Mocha and dark chocolate entwined with black cherry, raisin, and caramelised sugar. Notes of crème brûlée and a whisper of ginger rise from the glass.
Palate:
Rich and velvety, unfolding espresso and crème caramel with bursts of black grape. Hints of mint chocolate ganache glide beneath layers of dark fruit.
Finish:
Long and luxurious, leaving echoes of roasted coffee, sugared spice, and lingering chocolate sweetness.
