Glendronach Grandeur (Batch 10)

Description

Glendronach Grandeur (Batch 10) 27 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 50.1%)

The whisky bottled as The GlenDronach ‘Grandeur’ has been specially selected by our Master Blender, Rachel Barrie, from some of our oldest and most unique sherry casks at GlenDronach. A selection of barrels, hogsheads, puncheons and butts have been maturing in our traditional dunnage warehouses since the 1960s, and it is the most extraordinary and remarkable of sherry casks that have been chosen for this very special bottling of twenty-seven-year-old whisky.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Intense cherry wood.

Nose: A masterful symphony of ripe damson plum, freshly cracked black walnut and concentrated bramble and apple jam. The scent of old antique leather, truffle oil and cedar cigar box waft seductively, as mellow maturity balances the richly sherried sweetness.

Palate: Exquisite sherry cask maturation combining elegance, richness and complexity. Sip morello cherries in dark chocolate with a crescendo of blackberry jus.

Conclusion: Savour black truffle, old-fashioned treacle gingerbread, prune and walnut oil lingering long into the richly satisfying finish.
