The GlenDronach 1992 Single Cask Batch 14 is a whisky of exceptional quality and craftsmanship from the renowned GlenDronach distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. Established in 1826, the distillery is celebrated for its traditional methods and extensive use of sherry casks for aging. This particular whisky was distilled on June 5, 1992, and bottled after 24 years of aging in September 2016. It was matured in a single Oloroso Sherry Butt, which has imparted an unmatched depth and complexity to the spirit.
The GlenDronach distillery is known for its meticulous cask selection process, sourcing only the finest sherry casks from renowned bodegas in Southern Spain, including Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlúcar de Barrameda. These handmade casks lend a unique and rich flavor profile to the whisky. Cask #226 was carefully chosen for this batch and was bottled at cask strength, without any coloring or filtering, resulting in a limited release of 554 bottles.
This whisky epitomizes GlenDronach's dedication to traditional methods and the use of high-quality sherry casks. Its 24 years of aging have endowed it with a rich and complex flavor profile, making it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts. The robust 58.4% ABV adds to its dynamic character, making it a truly remarkable experience.
This whisky is unique due to its aging in a single Oloroso Sherry Butt for 24 years, its cask strength bottling at 58.4% ABV, and its limited release of just 554 bottles.
Expect an intricate blend of dark, boiled-down fruits, dark chocolate, roasted espresso, and old oak, with added layers of sweetness and spices when water is added.
Adding water reveals red fruits and brings out a more Christmassy profile with flavors like apple, cinnamon rolls, and cherries while taming the overall intensity.
What a whisky! Without adding water, it is a stunner, exemplifying exactly what one expects from GlenDronach with these key characteristics. The whisky transforms completely with water, shifting from a tart sherry wall to a breathtaking combination of old library and sweet scents of slightly fermented plums, apples, and cherries. A dream whisky, truly world-class!
