7 Single Cask
Bottlings From GlenDronach This Month
GlenDronach, the richly-sherried
Highland malt, has released Batch 2 of
its single cask bottlings which includes
seven rare and very limited expressions.
GlenDronach Sales Director Alistair
Walker said: "Each year we specially
select a handful of individual casks
from the warehouses at GlenDronach to be
bottled as our ‘Limited Releases’. "
"We believe that the 2010 releases are
excellent examples of the quality,
richly-sherried style for which the
GlenDronach distillery is famous."
"Batch 2 is being shipped to over twenty
export markets and will also be
available in the UK through independent
specialist whisky retailers."
