GlenDronach
releases Batch 15 of its
popular single cask bottlings which
includes the oldest ever release from
the distillery.
 Although
not exactly a well kept secret what will
be in this summers batch of GlenDronach
single casks bottlings, the distillery
today officially unveiled Batch 15 in
their very popular single cask bottlings series,
and the first release under the watchful
eye of GlenDronach's new Whisky Maker
Rachel Barrie.
Batch 15 is a batch of six single casks
bottlings all distilled in the 1990's,
with the oldest of the bunch being a
GlenDronach 1990 Cask No. 7005 which was
matured in a PX Sherry Puncheon for 27
years, GlenDronach describe it as having
the appearance of polished cherry wood,
with notes of fresh mint leaves on the
nose, together with touches of cigar box
and cinnamon in rich plum juice on the
palate.
The youngest from the bunch is the 21 year
old GlenDronach 1995 Cask No. 4418 which
has also matured in a PX Sherry
Puncheon, they say that toasted oak
spice and roasted coffee beans can be
found in the nose, while the palate
offers crisp candied peel, with sweet
figs and sugared dates dusted with
cocoa.
Whisky Maker Rachel Barrie commented on Batch
15 saying: "Aficionados of The
GlenDronach will not be disappointed
with this latest Batch, picked from the
richest and deepest casks in our
earthen-floored warehouses. I am
privileged and delighted to see them
released from their slumber, for
enjoyment by discerning connoisseurs
around the world; as time slowly passes,
I anticipate the unearthing of more
hidden gems."
