UNCOVER THE OLDEST
GLENDRONACH EVER RELEASED
UNCOVER THE OLDEST
GLENDRONACH EVER RELEASED
There is a precedent for The GlenDronach Distillery producing astonishing, well-sherried, long-aged single malt Scotch whiskies. This has now reached new levels, as the distillery up in the Highlands region has unveiled the oldest GlenDronach ever released. The GlenDronach 50 Year Old has been passed down through generations at the distillery, having matured for half of a century, with master blender Rachel Barrie its final custodian.
The whisky was distilled back in 1971, when the stills of GlenDronach were direct-fired (they were switched over to steam in 2006). After many years of patient rest, two casks were personally selected by Barrie – a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask and an Oloroso sherry cask. The whisky was married together in a single Pedro Ximénez cask before being bottled up at 43.8% ABV, with only 198 bottles produced. A unique, uncompromising, and outstanding expression, showcasing the glory and dedication of The GlenDronach.
PRODUCT DETAILS
GlenDronach Aged 50 Years
70cl | 43.8% ABV
COLOUR
The colour is something to behold, like a treacle. It looks more like a very old sherry than a whisky.
NOSE
Smells old, think ancient warehouses and damp wood. Then there’s balsamic notes, like a really old colheita Port, dark chocolate, a touch of marzipan, and waxy notes.
PALATE
So dry and intense, uncompromisingly dry. It’s a whisky you can feel as much as taste. Then come the nuts plus vanilla, crème brûlée, and bitter dark chocolate. Very very complex. With time, sweeter notes start to appear. You do really get that dark cherry note strongly.
FINISH
Burnt toffee, dark chocolate and that cherry note persisting.
