Description

The GlenDronach 1968 44 Year Old Recherche is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky, distilled on September 24, 1968, and matured for 44 years in a single Oloroso sherry butt, cask number 005. Bottled in 2012, this limited release of 632 bottles was chosen as the oldest whisky in the distillery's warehouses at the time. The name 'Recherché' means 'carefully sought out', reflecting the selection of this rare expression. It is bottled at cask strength of 48.6% ABV and is non-chill filtered.

Nose
Lovely balance. Clean, fresh, with remarkable fruitiness. Juicy sweet sultanas, dates and marrons glacés centrally positioned around a bitter chocolate heart.
Palate
Initial profile of freshly roasted coffee beans and a treacle tart character. This is succeeded with baked apples smothered with brown sugar. Brilliant structure with no dominant force but with plenty of depth and length.
Finish
Not explicitly detailed as a separate finish, but the palate description implies a long and deep finish.
