GlenDronach launches new
Grandeur.
 Following on from the very highly
rated GlenDronach Grandeur 31 year old
which has now sold out, GlenDronach today
announced the release of its
replacement, the GlenDronach Grandeur 24
year old which they tell me is another
exquisite long-aged representation of
the smooth, complex and full-bodied
style for which GlenDronach Distillery
is famous for worldwide.
GlenDronach tell me that if the glorious
rum-soaked golden sultanas don’t capture
you as you savour it for the first time,
you’ll definitely be ensnared by the
dark chocolate and zesty orange oil
softening to a deep clove spice.
The Grandeur 24 year old which has been
bottled at 48.9% ABV shows the finest
sherry oak casks, masterful maturation
and traditional crafted Highland single
malt in perfect harmony.
Lovingly aged for almost a quarter of a
century and beautifully gift-boxed, this
exceptional whisky has been specially
selected by Master Distiller Billy
Walker from some of the oldest and most
unique Oloroso sherry casks at
GlenDronach.
This bottling, batch number 4 of the
Grandeur releases, is limited to 569
bottles. Individually numbered by hand,
each bottle is a one-off and truly
unique, making it a very special and
remarkable malt.
Master Distiller Billy Walker’s tasting
notes below demonstrate that the
Grandeur 24 Years Old is indeed one of
the greats.

GlenDronach Grandeur 24 Year Old Tasting
Notes
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Colour:
Glistening burnt amber holds a rich
crimson heart.
Nose:
A magnificent combination of
honey-drenched dates and succulent
raisins which gently ebb and flow with
waves of delicate orange blossom, mint
and cracked black pepper. Hints of
glazed cherries and toasted almonds
perfectly complement the seductive nose
- a nose to be appreciated slowly and
often.
Taste:
A fabulously full-bodied, vibrant palate
captures a multitude of classic sherry
cask characteristics. The delicate
sweetness of rum-soaked golden sultanas
refines rich espresso, dark chocolate
and treacle toffee. Zesty orange oil
softens to a deep clove spice and
prolongs the ever-changing palate. A
sublime example of understanding the
relationship between cask and single
malt perfectly.
Conclusions:
The Grandeur 24 year old encapsulates
the perfect harmony of exquisite sherry
oak casks, masterful maturation and
traditional crafted Highland single
malt. A dram to be savoured in order to
reveal the depth of dramatic flavours
held in the glass. A truly memorable and
captivating GlenDronach expression.
