Let me take you into the heart of darkness Ode to the Dark is the crescendo of The Glendronach Masters Anthology, an expression that dares to plunge deeper into richness than youve dared before.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance
• A luminous black garnet glow that hints at the multi-layered tapestry ahead.
• Nose
  A compelling symphony of mocha, black cherry, and dark chocolate, unveiling beneath it the sweeter chords of crme brle, raisin, brown sugar, and a spicekissed ginger. This is sherry rich, stirring, and unapologetically bold.
• Palate
  Velvety espresso and crme caramel coalesce like molten silk, flowing into decadent black grape and indulgent mint chocolate ganache. Its a plush sensorial experience thick, rewarding, and unforgettable.
• Finish
  A lingering echo of dark fruit sweetness, cocoa bitterness, and a whisper of saline warmth and black pepper the kind of finale that stays with you, quiet yet insistent.
