GlenDronach
launches new Cask Strength expression.
 In a first for GlenDronach, the
award-winning Aberdeenshire distillery
has produced a new cask strength
expression which has been bottled in
November.
Worldwide aficionados of their unique,
richly sherried malt can now enjoy a
classic GlenDronach exactly as they made
it – at cask strength, non-chill
filtered and at natural colour.
Personally selected by Billy Walker and
designed to supplement the core range of
12, 15, 18 and 21 year old vintages, the
spectacular GlenDronach Cask Strength
has been matured in a combination of the
finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso
Sherry casks.
This first batch comprises of some
12,000 bottles and was bottled at a cask
strength of 54.8% ABV.
Billy Walker’s tasting notes illustrate
that this expression is destined to
become just as iconic as the other
wonderful vintages in the core range.
GlenDronach mature their single malt
whisky in premium quality sherry casks,
hand-crafted from European oak by the
most reputable and renowned bodegas from
Jerez in the south of Spain.
Over time, silently resting in their
warehouses by the Dronac Burn in Forgue,
the interaction of the high-quality wood
and the maturing whisky produces
sensational results and flavours.
Oloroso casks confer a heavier scented
body on their whisky, often adding
subtle notes of fruit and toffee, while
Pedro Ximenez casks give GlenDronach a
rich, dark, zesty flavour. The
combination of the two results in an
avalanche of sublime tastes that leave
an indelible impression on the taste
buds. The new GlenDronach Cask Strength
is a perfect example of Billy Walker’s
astounding ability to perfectly match
wood to whisky.
