The GlenDronach Distillery has honored centuries of craft in its latest Single Malt release, The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 12.
This twelfth batch of the expression highlights the depths of sherry cask maturation, carrying forth the legacy of distillery founder James Allardice since 1826, marrying Highland spirit to Spanish oak. The result is a richly sherried Highland Single Malt, matured slowly in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from AndalucÃa in Spain.
The GlenDronach Distillery Master Blender Rachel Barrie composes each batch for color, complexity and finish. “The GlenDronach Cask Strength offers connoisseurs a deep insight into the distillery’s signature character, by bottling at the whisky’s natural cask strength, as was the custom before the turn of the 20th Century,” said Barrie. “Add a drop or two of water to open up the liquid and reveal a cornucopia of flavors; from rich mocha to raisin-filled fruit-cake and indulgent crème brûlée. Such is the reward of our twelfth batch of The GlenDronach Cask Strength, a richly sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.”
As with all expressions of The GlenDronach, all of the natural colors are drawn from slow maturation in Spanish oak casks.
The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 12 is bottled at 116 proof and is available $104.99.
