The Glendronach 1992 Cask Bottling Batch 18 is a magnificent 27-year-old single malt whisky, distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2020. Hailing from the prestigious Glendronach distillery located near Forgue in the Scottish Highlands, this expression showcases the distillery's rich heritage dating back to 1826. Owned by a lineage of distinguished companies including Teachers and Sons, BenRiach Distillery Company, and Allied Distillers, Glendronach is celebrated for its traditional floor maltings and the historic significance of its category B listed buildings. This exceptional whisky was matured in a single Oloroso sherry puncheon, carefully selected by Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie. It is part of a limited release, with only 658 bottles produced, each non-chill-filtered and devoid of added coloring, and bottled at a robust 53.2% ABV. On the nose, this whisky is an olfactory delight, offering rich aromas of sherry-soaked raisins, toffee, and sultana pudding, complemented by nuances of blackberry preserve, antique leather, and cedar cigar box. The palate is equally enchanting, presenting stewed plums, apricots, fruitcake, orange caramel brittle, treacle, and a touch of clove. This expression is a true testament to the powerful intricacy and complex layers of Spanish sherry cask maturation that the Glendronach distillery is renowned for. The 27 years of maturation in the Oloroso sherry puncheon have resulted in a whisky that is both rich and flavorful, promising to delight any whisky enthusiast. Despite some mixed reviews regarding its price, many connoisseurs have praised this whisky for its aged character, dark sherry flavors, and strong oak influence. While it might be considered expensive by some, it remains a well-regarded malt with a very balanced profile, highlighting the sophistication of Glendronach's single cask bottlings.
