Whisky Focus - GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 4

GlenDronach launch Batch 4 in its popular Cask Strength series.

GlenDronach this week launched Batch 4 of its luscious Cask Strength Highland single malt.

GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 4 is bottled at 54.7% and is a release 17,806 bottles, just like the earlier batches GlenDronach describe it as a delicious, creamy sherry bomb! They say the whisky sensationally explodes on the palate with dark fruit, ginger and oak flavours to the fore, and with gingerbread, barley, roasted coffee beans and a hint of walnut softening to a long, satisfying finish.

Sales Director Alistair Walker commented: "The whisky for this fourth edition in our renowned series has been carefully selected from a combination of the finest Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. Non chill filtered and of natural colour, the Cask Strength has been produced in the classic GlenDronach style."

Master Blender Billy Walker’s tasting notes below show how Batch 4 is destined to be a fantastic addition to this amazing series.

GlenDronach Master Blender Billy Walker's Tasting Notes:

Colour: Dark rich amber with a glint of burnished copper.

Nose: Delicious molten toffee and wild honey poured over ripe figs and dates. Subtle hints of tangerine, coffee grounds and a dusting of cinnamon add a perfect balance to the nose.

Taste: Vibrant oak spices and warming stem ginger complement the rich sherry and dark fruit characteristics. Waves of sour plums and subtle gingerbread combine with stewed barley and roasted coffee beans, softened by a gentle hint of walnut.

Finish: A perfect harmony of the finest sherry casks and traditional Highland characteristics.
