Whisky Focus - The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10

The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10


1st March 2022
The GlenDronach release Batch 10 of its so far outstanding Cask Strength series.

The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10The GlenDronach distillery has released the next instalment in its popular Cask Strength series, The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10.

The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 offers connoisseurs a deeper 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. Batch 10 has been crafted by Master Blender Rachel Barrie, from a marriage of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.

Master Blender, Dr. Rachel Barrie, said: "The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 is incredibly rich and full-bodied, with the full depth of sherry cask maturation at its heart. Presented at natural cask strength, it offers a cornucopia of flavour, from richly spiced fruitcake to dark cherry and ginger jam."

The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 is bottled at 58.6% ABV, and as is the case for all The GlenDronach expressions, develops its deep colour naturally over time from the Spanish oak in which it rests. It will be available to buy from specialist retailers worldwide from March and in the US from late Spring.

The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 9 has a RRP of £77 and will be available to buy from specialist retailers worldwide from this month and in the US from late Spring. It is worth noting that these big sherried cask strength releases from The GlenDronach tend to sell out quite quickly (with good reason) so if you want a bottle don't hang around too long when you see it available.

I haven't had the chance to taste this one yet but I will certainly update you when I do but if previous batches are anything to go by this will be worth getting hold of if you enjoy a cask strength sherried dram.

You will find The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 available from specialist online whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange and The Whisky Shop and Master of Malt
