The Glendronach 1995 Single Cask Batch 14 is a remarkable 20-year-old whisky, distilled on October 18, 1995, and bottled in September 2016. This single cask gem exemplifies the craftsmanship of the esteemed Glendronach distillery, located in Forgue near Huntly in the Highlands of Scotland. Established in 1826, Glendronach is one of the oldest distilleries in the Highlands, known for its adherence to traditional methods and its expertise in aging whisky in sherry casks. This particular expression was matured in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon for over two decades, resulting in a whisky of unparalleled depth and complexity. The nose reveals stewed plum compote, orchard apples caramelized in dark muscovado sugar, and a hint of citrus. On the palate, an exceptional balance of sweet chocolate, toffee, and toasted oak spice emerges, perfectly complemented by notes of dates, ripe pear, a dusting of barley, and vanilla. The finish is marked by aged-oak spice and a touch of sherry, creating a complex and satisfying conclusion. This whisky stands as a testament to Glendronach's commitment to traditional methods and their meticulous selection of sherry casks from renowned sherry bodegas in southern Spain. After careful selection, cask 543 was chosen and ultimately bottled at cask strength, without coloring or filtering, yielding 689 bottles.
