GlenDronach
distillery release the 2023 instalment in their
premium Grandeur series, The GlenDronach
Grandeur Batch 12 29 Year Old.
 The
GlenDronach Distillery has
unveiled the next instalment of in their
premium Grandeur series, The GlenDronach
Grandeur Batch 12 29 Year Old, which
they describe as 'one of its most
luxurious expressions to date'.
Grandeur Batch 12, a hallmark of
GlenDronach's celebrated and sumptuously
sherried style, has been meticulously
crafted from a selection of exclusive
sherry casks aged for over 29 years.
These casks were personally chosen by
the GlenDronach's steemed Master
Blender, Rachel Barrie.
During its nearly three-decade
maturation period in Oloroso sherry
casks, this rare expression from one of
Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries
has absorbed the profound essence of the
finest Spanish oak sherry casks and is
said to embody the most opulent rewards
that can be derived from these exquisite
casks.
GlenDronach's unwavering commitment to
crafting extraordinary Single Malts
using time-honoured techniques, passed
down through generations for almost two
centuries, is encapsulated in this
meticulously hand-crafted limited
release. Each individual bottle is
sealed with wax and meticulously
hand-numbered to symbolise its rarity
and exclusivity. A limited quantity of
Batch 12 bottles will be made available
through select specialist retailers.
Rachel Barrie, Master Blender said:
"Every year since its inception in 2010,
each limited edition batch of The
GlenDronach Grandeur series has been
highly anticipated and acclaimed,
revered by connoisseurs and malt whisky
aficionados for its magnificence of
character and full-bodied style and this
is one of its most luxurious expressions
to date. Batch 12 is sure to be no
exception, with its exceedingly rich,
exuberant and full-bodied sherry cask
style, crafted from a bespoke selection
of our oldest and most magnificent
Oloroso sherry casks.
"The mesmerising hue of dark mahogany
sets the scene as the prelude to a
magnificent overture of sherry
aromatics. Exuberant notes of plum,
glazed cherry, spiced bramble and date
take centre stage before a crescendo of
raisin, cocoa and espresso plays into
the triumphant grand finale, leaving a
memorable and richly rewarding tobacco
and sherry-soaked walnut finish."
The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 12 is
bottled at 49.2% ABV, and as is the case
for all expressions, develops its deep
colour naturally over time from the
Spanish oak in which it rests. It will
be available to buy from this month from
specialist online whisky shops such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of Malt
