The GlenDronach Distillery, nestled in the east Highland hills, introduces its latest Single Malt, The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 12. Maintaining the distillery's centuries-old craft, the new release showcases remarkable sherry cask maturation depth.
The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 12 is a richly sherried Highland Single Malt, matured slowly in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Spain, reflecting the distillery's signature character. Master Blender, Rachel Barrie, meticulously blends each batch for the richest complexity and an enduring, elegant finish.
Barrie suggests adding a drop or two of water to open up a plethora of flavors; from rich mocha to raisin-filled fruit-cake and indulgent crème brûlée. Bottled at 58.2% ABV, the Batch 12 will be available for an SRP of $104.99 from select retailers.
This launch signifies a continued commitment to traditional craftsmanship and provides an opportunity for whisky connoisseurs to appreciate the distinct character of The GlenDronach. The new release could further solidify the distillery's standing in the premium whisky market.
