GLENDRONACH RE-RELEASES 14 YO VIRGIN OAK WOOD FINISH

AWARD-WINNING GLENDRONACH is delighted to launch today (18 August 2016) its new special edition 14 year old Virgin Oak Wood Finish.

It’s a re-release of the critically-acclaimed 14YO Virgin Oak first issued in July 2010.

Bottled at 46%, non chill filtered and with natural colour, this delicious single malt was matured initially in European Oak casks and thereafter finished its maturation in a small batch of the finest Virgin Oak casks, giving the whisky its own unique flavours and aromas.

The result is a nutty, sweet and fruity dram bursting with banana, melon and coconut.

Sales Director Alistair Walker said: “Six years ago we broke new ground by releasing four new GlenDronach Wood Finishes, the ­first to be released by the distillery in its 180-year history.

“They were warmly received worldwide so today we’re re-releasing the 14YO Virgin Oak Wood Finish and I’m confident it will win even more fans.
