From one of the oldest distilleries in the Highlands of Scotland, located in Forgue, this whisky is a prime example of Glendronach’s commitment to traditional sherry cask aging. The distillery, founded in 1826 by James Allardes, has a storied history, having changed ownership multiple times, including ownership by Teachers and Sons and the BenRiach Distillery Company. Reopened in 2002 after being mothballed in 1996, the distillery is now a category B listed building, ensuring its protection and preservation. This single cask whisky, #1436, was matured for 40 years in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon and bottled at 48.5% ABV. With only 583 bottles drawn from this cask, it offers an incredibly well-aged whisky with a rich and complex flavor profile. Expect a powerful initial flavor with spice notes, followed by a harmonious blend of pure chocolate, dried fruits such as figs, dates, and sweet raisins. The balance of flavors is impeccable, making it a top choice for sherry cask-aged Highland single malt whisky enthusiasts. The aroma is equally impressive, featuring lively, mild spicy scents with refined notes of forest fruit and mocha/coffee tones, further enhanced by the aromas of toasted walnuts and roasted chestnuts. Overall, the Glendronach 1971 Single Cask Batch 4 stands as a testament to the expertise of this renowned distillery, offering a rare and exclusive treat for the true whisky aficionado.
