This limited edition is the 10th release the GlenDronach Grandeur series.
Consisting of hand-selected Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks from some of the distillery's rarest stocks, this 27-year-old expression has been bottled at a strength of 50.1% ABV.
Described by Master Blender Rachel Barrie as 'a symphony of depth and mellow maturity, reminiscent of times gone by.
With layers of damson plum, black walnut and truffle on a bed of antique leather and old-fashioned treacle gingerbread, Batch 10 celebrates the robust, full-bodied style of The GlenDronach Distillery.’
Only 2,293 bottles have been produced, each one individually numbered.
Nose: A lovely bitter sweet mix of plum jam and sweet rum infused sultanas with the gentlest peppery edge and some lovely mature oak.
Palate: Mature oak tannins, sweet treacle toffee, raisins and orange which is balanced by dark chocolate and plum, a touch of sulphur in the background.
Finish: The sweetness bitters out giving way to some dark chocolate and coffee notes, some more sulphur and a lingering mildly drying gentle oak spiciness.
