Description

In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice, along with a consortium of local farmers, founded the distillery and began producing his "Guid GlenDronach" single malt. Unfortunately Allardice's marketing strategy of offering free drams to Edinburgh's "ladies of night", coupled with a fire at the distillery in 1837, led to him declaring bankruptcy. Thankfully however, the story doesn't end ... This GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 5 is a robust Highland single malt whisky, matured in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso Sherry casks. It is bottled at cask strength, non chill filtered and at natural colour, continuing the brand's dedication to sherry-cask maturation.

Nose
Rich, punchy deep sherry with sweet golden sultanas, rich fig syrup, red fruit, and dried fruits like raisins and figs. Notes of ground almonds, orange bitters, cinnamon, marzipan, and a gentle dusting of black pepper. Hints of malt, honey, and oak.
Palate
Vibrant oak spices and warming stem ginger complement rich sherry and dark fruit characteristics. Demerara sugar-glazed dark fruits, apricot syrup, honey, caramel, and burned sugar. Notes of crushed nuts, sour plums, subtle gingerbread, and roasted coffee beans, with a full, rounded, and oily texture.
Finish
A medium to long, peppery and lingering finish with sweet honey. Lingering fruits like apples, pears, grapes, raisins, and dates, accompanied by warm spices, gentle tannins, and subtle oak.
