12 yr old, 80 proof
Unlike the Glendronach I see in the States, this did not say "100% sherry cask aged" on the label, and the color was much lighter than the dark, nearly red stuff available at home. It still tasted strongly of sherry, but much less overpoweringly so; I prefered this to what I was used to. [lh]
