The Glendronach 1971 Single Cask Batch 11 is a magnificent 43-year-old whisky, matured in a single Pedro Ximenez puncheon, making it the oldest release in Glendronach's single cask series. Distilled on February 25, 1971, and bottled in November 2014, this exquisite whisky exemplifies the craftsmanship and legacy of the renowned Highland distillery, known for its traditional use of sherry casks. On the nose, it offers a robust combination of rich prune syrup, blackberry jam, and dunnage characters, complemented by mocha and a dusting of cinnamon. The palate is an intense journey of flavors, boasting treacle toffee, sour plums, roasted coffee, leather, tobacco, toasted walnut, and date back notes, achieving a perfect balance. The GlenDronach distillery, founded in 1826, is located in Forgue near Huntly in the Highlands of Scotland. With nearly 200 years of history, it stands as one of the oldest distilleries in the Highlands, celebrated for its traditional aging process using sherry casks. The distillery primarily employs sherry casks from renowned bodegas in southern Spain, specifically Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlucar de Barrameda. This single cask whisky spent over four decades in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon, contributing to its unparalleled depth and complexity. As part of the Single Cask Whisky series, Batch 11 was launched in January 2015, and this 43-year-old single cask whisky was the oldest release from this batch, with only 523 bottles produced. At 48.6% ABV and a size of 700 ml, this is a rare and remarkable whisky.
