GlenDronach 25 Year Old Grandeur - Batch 8


18th November 2016

GlenDronach release Batch 8 of its highly rated Grandeur series.

GlenDronach 25 Year Old Grandeur - Batch 8 ReviewGlenDronach's Master Distiller Billy Walker has selected some absolutely outstanding casks to go into previous releases of GlenDronach Grandeur and I expect this latest GlenDronach 25 year old Grandeur Batch 8 to be highly sought after by whisky connoisseurs.

Once again Master Distiller Billy Walker has selected some of the oldest and most unique Oloroso casks maturing at The GlenDronach Distillery were he has a vast selection of the barrels, hogsheads, puncheons and butts maturing in the dunnage warehouses to choose from.

With over a quarter of a century in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, GlenDronach tell me that each of the 1,505 bottles in this Grandeur limited release are full of luscious fruity aromas and dark chocolate flavours and is a classical representation of the smooth, complex and full-bodied style that the GlenDronach is famous for.

The GlenDronach 25 year old Grandeur Batch 8 was bottled at 50.3% ABV and is presented in a luxury package and individually numbered by hand, each bottle is unique. Grandeur Batch 8 will be available from specialist online whisky retailers such as Master of Malt

Producer's Tasting Notes:

Colour: Rich red wood flecked with gold.

Nose:  A torrent of rich sherry aromas flow over sour plums and dried prunes. A delightful combination of gingerbread and cracked black pepper adds a gentle warmth. Dark chocolate with a touch of marzipan adds contrasting hints of sweetness to the robust, vintage character.

Taste: An opulent, vintage sherry style combining a medley of dark espresso, Mediterranean fruits, rich molasses and hints of herbal bitters. An earthy, aged oak character of air cured tobacco leaves a leathery dryness adding great depth and texture to the palate, contributing to the unique, full bodied Highland style.
