The GlenDronach Distillery has unveiled the tenth release of its highly anticipated Cask Strength Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Master Blender Rachel Barrie crafted the latest edition from a marriage of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.
By bottling at the whisky’s natural cask strength, GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 offers whisky lovers a deeper insight into the distillery’s signature character.
“The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 is incredibly rich and full-bodied with the full depth of sherry cask maturation at its heart,” said Barrie. “Presented at natural cask strength, it offers a cornucopia of flavor, from richly spiced fruitcake to dark cherry and ginger jam.”
Chestnut bronze in color, the Scotch offers aromas of mocha, apricot and baked orange chocolate cake, with roasted almond, walnut, and raisin on a base of aromatic toasted oak. The palate delivers richly spiced fruitcake with nectarine, dark cherry, and honeyed sultana raisins.
The limited release showcases the historic distillery’s commitment to crafting the most exceptional, richly sherried Single Malts, representative of The GlenDronach’s rare dedication to its craft, embodied in every expression.
Bottled at 58.6% ABV, The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 10 develops its deep color naturally over time from the Spanish oak in which it rests. It is available across the U.S. for $99.99 per bottle.
