The GlenDronach 1989 Kingsman Edition is a limited edition 29-year-old single malt whisky, released in collaboration with Matthew Vaughn, director of the Kingsman film franchise. This exquisite expression was crafted to celebrate the release of the latest film in the series, The King's Man. Distilled in 1989 at the renowned GlenDronach Distillery in the Highlands, this whisky was initially matured in Oloroso sherry casks before undergoing a final maturation in Pedro Ximenez casks from Spain, resulting in a remarkably complex and deep flavor profile.
Bottled at a robust 50.1% ABV, the GlenDronach Kingsman Edition 1989 Vintage is limited to just 3,052 bottles worldwide. It is elegantly presented in a luxurious case adorned with the bespoke Kingsman insignia. The master blender, Dr. Rachel Barrie, meticulously selected six casks from 1989 for this exceptional release. The whisky's deep amber-brown color and its rich, nutty nose immediately captivate the senses, while its robust, viscous palate delivers an unforgettable tasting experience.
The nose is a symphony of autumn fruits, treacle, and dates, evolving to reveal notes of dark chocolate, dried orange, and jammy blackberry compote. On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and creamy, with flavors of winter truffle, raisin, cocoa, and a touch of spice, complemented by hints of hoisin sauce and soft oak. The finish is long and rich, leaving lingering impressions of tobacco leaf, blackberry, and sweet dried fruits, along with whispers of nutty and woody undertones.
This exceptional 1989 Vintage draws inspiration from the oldest bottle housed at The GlenDronach Distillery—a twenty-nine-year-old whisky bottled in 1913. Upholding the distillery's enduring values of tradition and perfection, this release epitomizes the unshakeable creed of the Kingsman.
This limited edition whisky was created in collaboration with Matthew Vaughn to celebrate the release of the Kingsman film 'The King's Man'. It features a rare combination of maturation in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks, resulting in its unique and complex flavor profile. Only 3,052 bottles are available worldwide, making it a highly collectible item.
The master blender, Dr. Rachel Barrie, carefully selected six casks from 1989 for this release, ensuring a high-quality and harmonious blend.
This whisky should be stored upright in a cool, dark place to preserve its quality over time. Avoid exposure to extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight.
Given its limited edition status, unique collaboration, and high praise from reviewers, the GlenDronach 1989 Kingsman Edition is considered a valuable addition to any collection and could potentially appreciate in value over time.
The GlenDronach 1989 Kingsman Edition is a truly stunning whisky that captures the essence of the distillery's craftsmanship. Its powerful sherry influence, coupled with a mesmerizing nose and a palate that is both complex and vigorous, makes it a standout. The balance is perfect, avoiding any over-oaking or excessive aging. Dr. Rachel Barrie has undoubtedly conjured up something fabulous here, making it one of the best GlenDronach expressions I've ever tasted. The rich, fruity complexity and long finish make it a must-try for any whisky enthusiast, despite its premium price.
