Glendronach Small Batch 23 Year Old, Bourbon Cask, 1990, Cadenhead, 49.5%

This Glendronach was distilled in 1990, a time when the distillery still used direct coal-fired stills, which were removed in 2006. It was independently bottled by Cadenhead as part of their Small Batch series in 2013, after 23 years of maturation in Bourbon hogsheads. Glendronach is a malt distillery located in Forgue by Huntly in the eastern Highland region, famed for its preference for sherry cask-ageing, though this expression showcases a different profile. Cadenhead is Scotland's oldest independent bottler, established in 1842.
