Batch 12 of The GlenDronach's annual Grandeur is a richly sherried affair, this 2023 release is said to be one of the distillery's most luxurious expressions to date! Bragging an impressive 29-year age statement this offering comprises single malt drawn from a host of rare oloroso sherry casks, selected and composed by legendary master blender Dr. Rachel Barrie. It's immensely impressive, with generous layers of sherry-soaked fruit, dustings of cocoa, roasted coffee, and rich old oak.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Big notes of rich, old oak, chocolate coffee beans, and sherried fruit cake, with boozy plums, glace cherries, and sultanas backed by thick toffee, toasted marzipan, and cinnamon.
Generous dustings of cocoa join stewed plums, and runny treacle, with roasted coffee, notes of blueberry, clementine, and a tickle of candied ginger. Waves of sweet tobacco waft beneath.
Superbly rich helpings of sherry-soaked fruit, with softly warming baking spice, syrupy cake, cacao, and coffee, while tannic old oak brings notes of candied walnuts and mellow old leather.
