The
GlenDronach has released Batch 12 in its popular Cask Strength series which
is matured in a combination of
Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Spanish sherry
casks.
 Here
is one for those of you who enjoy a
sherried dram, The GlenDronach Distillery
this week announced the release of the next instalment in its richly sherried
single malt Cask Strength series. The GlenDronach Cask
Strength Batch 12 which is said to boast
exceptional depths
of sherry cask maturation, carrying
forth the legacy of distillery founder
James Allardice since 1826, marrying
Highland spirit to Spanish oak.
This twelfth batch of The GlenDronach
Cask Strength is a richly sherried
Highland Single Malt, matured slowly in
fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry
casks from Andalucía in Spain.
The distillery tells me that Master
Blender, Rachel Barrie, intricately
composes each batch for the deepest
natural colour; the richest, most
full-bodied complexity; and an enduring,
elegant finish.
Rachel commented: "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.
"Add a drop or two of water to open up
the liquid and reveal a cornucopia of
flavours; 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 colour
is drawn from slow maturation in Spanish
oak casks. Bottled non chill-filtered at
what should be going by earlier batches
a very flavoursome 58.2% ABV
I would expect The GlenDronach Cask
Strength Batch 12 to sell out quickly
going by the quality and popularity of previous
batches these Cask Strength releases
tend to sell out quickly so grab it
while you can, it
will
be
available from specialist online whisky
shops such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop,
Hard To Find Whisky
and
Master of
Malt

Producer's
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Rich
mocha and creamy cappuccino meld with
orange and raisin-filled fruit cake,
cherry liqueur and sandalwood.
Taste: A
voluptuous swathe of velvety spice
reveals dark chocolate tiramisu topped
with flamed Seville orange peel, toasted
almond and crystallised ginger.
Finish: The
lingering finale of amaretto-laced
mocha, morello cherry and sultana on
indulgent caramelised crème brûlée.
