GlenDronach
release the next instalment in their
premium big sherried Grandeur series.
 Just
in time for those of you who may be
looking for something special to pour
over the holiday season or perhaps to
see in the New Year, the GlenDronach
Distillery has launched the next
instalment of their sherry rich premium
Grandeur series of single malt whiskies,
The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 10 27
Year Old.
GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 10 is a
marriage of some of the oldest and most
unique Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry
casks from the distillery which have
been selected and brought together by
the GlenDronach Master Blender, Rachel
Barrie.
Rachel describes Grandeur Batch 10 as "a
symphony of depth and mellow maturity,
reminiscent of times gone by. With
layers of damson plum, black walnut and
truffle on a bed of antique leather and
old-fashioned treacle gingerbread, Batch
10 celebrates the robust, full-bodied
style of The GlenDronach Distillery".
GlenDronach Grandeur 27 Year Old Batch
10 is a limited release of 2,293 bottles
worldwide making it the largest release
in the series to date which I would take
as an indication of the quality and
popularity of the series, bottled at 50.1%
ABV, it has a RRP of £499 and will be available from specialist
online whisky shops worldwide such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Green Welly Stop and
Master of Malt

William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
A lovely bitter sweet mix of plum jam
and sweet rum infused sultanas with the
gentlest peppery edge and some lovely
mature oak.
Taste:
Mature oak tannins, sweet treacle
toffee, raisins and orange which is
balanced by dark chocolate and
plum, a touch of sulphur in the
background.
Finish:
The sweetness bitters out giving way to
some dark chocolate and coffee
notes, some more sulphur and a lingering
mildly drying gentle oak spiciness.
Comment:
The nose is simply a deliciously
sherried pleasure, in the mouth the oak
tannins confirm its maturity, overall a
pleasurable old sherry oak single malt.
