The Glendronach 1990 Single Cask Batch 14 is a remarkable 26-year-old whisky, distilled on June 13, 1990, and bottled in September 2016. This exquisite single cask whisky embodies the expertise and rich heritage of the Glendronach Distillery, which was founded in 1826 in Forgue near Huntly, Highlands, Scotland. With nearly two centuries of distilling tradition, Glendronach is one of the oldest and most respected distilleries in the Highlands, renowned for its use of traditional methods and sherry cask aging. This unique expression was matured in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon for over two decades, resulting in a whisky with unmatched depth and complexity. The cask selection process was meticulous, and only 584 bottles were produced from cask number 2973, with no added color or chill filtration. Upon nosing, you are greeted with notes of crisp, fresh oak and spices that perfectly contrast with rich orange marmalade over plums, dried prunes, and dark chocolate. The palate offers a harmonious balance of sweet dates, dark prunes, and raisins, intertwined with vibrant, spicy notes of ginger, black pepper, and clove oil. This whisky exemplifies Glendronach's dedication to sourcing premium sherry casks from renowned bodegas in southern Spain, enhancing its sophisticated flavor profile. The whisky is dark in appearance, with a grand nose that is only surpassed by its palate. The oak integrates beautifully with the sweetness, creating a dessert dram to be savored. Expect layers of leather, cocoa, figs, cola, and oak, which make this a sumptuous and indulgent experience.
