Introducing The GlenDronach 1993 Master Vintage!
The Glendronach 1993 Master Vintage expression was created using whisky matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and oloroso Sherry casks laid down in 1993, which were chosen by the distillery to ‘showcase and celebrate this exceptional year’.
The expression was bottled non-chill-filtered, meaning this stunning whisky retains it's original colour, taste and aromas.
GlenDronach master blender Dr Rachel Barrie described the expression as having ‘rich brandy-laced fruitcake on the nose, cocoa-dusted coffee and sultana brioche on the palate and lingering pecan toffee notes in the finish’.
She credits the slow maturation of the whisky in Andalucian casks for giving the expression ‘profound layers of depth and complexity, leading to an exceedingly long, voluptuous and memorable finish’.
Nose: Rich brandy-laced fruitcake and marzipan on a base of smoked walnut and toasted sultana bread.
Palate: Sip cocoa-dusted coffee and sultana brioche enlivened by a twist of baked orange rind and the juiciness of prune oil.
Finish: Savour the long velvet taste of rich cocoa and dates as pecan toffee lingers into the sumptuous finish.
Whiskey fun has scored this Glendronach 25 Year Old Master Vintage 1993 90/100 overall on their site through customer recommendations.
Serge describes this whiskey as ‘A tremendous sherry monster that we always liked a lot. Heavy notes of burnt tyres on the nose as well as coffee, prunes and ham. Mouth: very dry (flor), bitter chocolate, dark toffee.’
