Glendronach Kingsman Edition 1989 Vintage

Description

Glendronach Kingsman 1989 Vintage 29 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 50.1%)

The GlenDronach Kingsman Edition 1989 Vintage has been crafted by The GlenDronach Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, in collaboration with the KINGSMAN film franchise producer, writer and director Matthew Vaughn, to mark the global release of ?The King?s Man? in 2020.

Matured in Oloroso sherry casks with a final maturation in Pedro Xim?nez casks from Spain, this twenty-nine-year-old vintage is richly sherried, characterful and complex, with an enduring finish. Just six of the finest casks from 1989, one of our most exclusive vintages, have been meticulously selected and married for exceptional character. Each bottle of this vintage release is carefully hand-numbered to reflect its rarity.

This exceptional vintage is the same age as the whisky held in the oldest bottle of The GlenDronach housed at the distillery – a twenty-nine-year-old whisky, bottled in 1913, just before the outbreak of the First World War. That rare bottle, now over a century old, was gifted to the distillery, and remains unopened as a mark of respect to fallen friends.

Tasting Notes

Appearance; Tarnished copper.

Nose; Dark field berry and plum skin on a base of aromatic bitters, sherry-soaked walnut and vintage leather. Musk and cedar wood smolder on a slate and earthen floor.

Palate; Dense autumn fruits meld with date, fig and treacle, rolling into black winter truffle, raisin and cocoa.

Finish; Blackberry, tobacco leaf and date oil linger into the rich, deep finish.
