The Glendronach 1972 Single Cask Batch 9 Oloroso Sherry Butt #702 is a 41-year-old vintage whisky, meticulously distilled on February 28, 1972, and bottled in October 2013. Hailing from the illustrious Glendronach distillery, situated in Forgue near Huntly in the Highlands of Scotland, this single cask whisky exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship that Glendronach has been renowned for since its establishment in 1826. As one of the oldest distilleries in the Highlands, Glendronach is celebrated for its commitment to sherry cask maturation methods. This exceptional whisky matured in a single Oloroso Sherry cask, crafted by renowned sherry bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain. The result is an elegantly vintage sherry-style whisky, teeming with rich flavors of dark espresso, molasses, lively herbs, and oak spices. Layers of dried fruits and subtle notes of walnut provide a well-balanced, classic expression. Upon nosing, the whisky reveals sumptuous depths of sour cherries dusted with toasted almonds, delicate orange blossom, and warm oak spices that invigorate the rich sherry influence. Intense treacle toffee cascades over sour plums and roasted coffee, while harmonizing waves of leather and tobacco add great depth. This balance is further enhanced by hints of toasted walnut and dates. A robust combination of rich prune syrup and blackberry jam with deep dunnage characters is sweetened by touches of mocha and a dusting of cinnamon. Part of Glendronach's Single Cask Whisky series, Batch 9 was launched in December 2013, with this release being the oldest from the batch. It comes in an elegant presentation box and includes a neck tag featuring detailed tasting notes, making it a perfect collector's item or gift for any whisky connoisseur.
