Glendronach Cask Strength Batch #7 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7, bottled at 57.9% abv without chill filtration or the addition of colour, includes whiskies aged in Pedro Ximénez and oloroso Sherry casks.
Master blender Rachel Barrie described the whisky as ‘smooth, nutty and rounded, with notes of Highland toffee, walnut cream, sultana bread and figs’. This, she added, was the result of the whisky’s Sherry cask maturation in GlenDronach’s earthen-floored dunnage warehouses, which helped create ‘a sublime aroma, rounded taste, full body and long-lasting finish’.
With a cask selection spanning summer, autumn and winter distillation at GlenDronach, the resulting marriage delivers a malt with a strong heart, complex taste and smooth, mellow maturity,’ said Barrie.
A big and bold batch 7 of the great value for money cask strength Glendronach, great long finish and plenty to enjoy and chew on here.
Highly recommended.
