Glendronach Batch 11 Single Cask Release at The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News
GlenDronach has bottled nine of its finest single casks, ranging from 43 to 18 years old for its Batch 11 release. All casks were hand-selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker, who has selected them to show the influence wood has on the spirit, while maintaining the classic GlenDronach style.
1971 43 year old
The oldest release from Batch 11, this whisky was filled from Pedro Ximinez Sherry Puncheon cask number 2920, and was distilled back in 1971. 43 year later, the whisky has a rich treacle toffee flavour, with hints of coffee and sour plums. It also has fantastic depth with its leather and tobacco flavours, perfectly balanced by notes of toasted walnuts and dates.
One of only 523 bottles, bottled at 48.6% abv.
£955. Pre-order now.
1990 24 year old
Bottled in November 2014, this whisky was first filled to its cask in 1991. Filled from Pedro Ximinez Sherry Puncheon cask 1020, this fantastic single malt has fresh, peppery oak spice and a wonderful flavour of rich sultanas, dark chocolate covered coffee beans. Hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove oil add a longlasting depth.
One of only 606 bottles, bottled at natural cask strength of 53.8% abv.
1996 18 year old
The youngest of this batch, this 18 year old was filled in February 1996 to an Oloroso Sherry Butt, cask 244. It has a wonderfully balanced flavour, with hints of mixed candied peel and stewed dark fruits topped with Demerara sugar. Delicious hints of toffee, cracked barley and warm oak spices combine to give a long, elegant finish.
One of only 399 bottles, bottled at natural cask strength at 56.9% abv.
