GlenDronach
launches Batch 2 of its new Cask
Strength expression.
 Just five months after the launch of its
new Cask Strength expression,
GlenDronach, the award-winning
Aberdeenshire distillery, has this week
bottled the second batch of this
phenomenal new single malt.
"It really is down to huge demand in the
international marketplace," revealed
Sales Director Alistair Walker. "All
12,000 bottles in Batch One sold out in
a matter of weeks and since the turn of
the year our agents around the world
have been calling for a second batch.
We’re delighted to respond with this new
expression."
Batch One got rave reviews from
Glendronach aficionados. "Sublime
whisky"; "Like flakes melting in dark
chocolate"; "This whisky is superb. Like
a kid in a toy shop drinking this"; and
"On the palate you got chocolate raisins
and dark caramel. Give it twenty seconds
and you got caramel and cream. Can't
wait for batch 2" were just some of the
favourable comments.
"We believe Batch Two will exceed
people’s expectations," added Alistair.
"It’s a superlative dram; the fullness
of flavour is really astonishing."
"Cask Strength" simply means that the
whisky is bottled at the natural
strength, straight out of the barrel.
Each batch is unique, and the batches
will continue to be released as long as
this expression remains popular with
consumers.
The second batch has been personally
selected once again by Master Blender
Billy Walker. At 55.2% ABV, non
chill-filtered and bottled at its
natural colour, it has been matured as
before in a combination of the finest
Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.
Mr Walker’s tasting notes show how time,
wood and whisky mystically interact to
create another richly-sherried
expression that’s true to the
GlenDronach style.

sultanas. Candied ginger and orange peel
are spiced with a beautifully delicate
back note of warm oak.

warm oak spices, hints of soft toffee
and gentle sugared almonds.
