Glendronach 33yo Oloroso Sherry Casks 40% 700ml information

The Glendronach 33yo Oloroso Sherry Casks is a highly impressive and full-bodied single malt whisky that is not to be missed. Distilled in 1971, this small batch expression spent 33 years maturing in exquisite Oloroso sherry casks, resulting in a dram that is full of typical sherry-matured flavors such as dried fruits, espresso, and Christmas cake. This whisky is a fine example of the high-quality produce from the Glendronach distillery, which is one of the most prominent and important distilleries in Scotland's Highlands.

The Glendronach distillery was founded in the 1920s and came to wider attention in the 1960s after being taken over by Teacher's. After a low period under Allied Distillers, Glendronach was revived under Billy Walker, whose Benriach Distillery Co. bought the distillery in 2008. This Glendronach 33 years old is perhaps the ultimate expression of the maturing art, with the result being nothing short of superb after 33 long and quiet years maturing in Oloroso Sherry casks. Rarely are whiskies of this distinction bottled and rarer still are they fully sherry matured. This whisky is presented in a wooden box and has received high praise, including 95/100 from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible and a Gold Medal at the San Francisco Spirits Competition.

The nose is a symphony of elegant tart and spicy woody sherry notes, with hints of unburned tobacco, light vanilla, old leather, and polished sherry-soaked wood. There's a slightly musty note reminiscent of an old cellar, intertwined with chocolate, cocoa powder, and hazelnuts. The palate reveals a slight sweetness, immediately followed by oily, very soft textures, spicy old sherry, leather, tobacco, milk coffee, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate. The finish is strong with wood flavors, slightly sour, and astringent with notes of roasted nuts, nutmeg, and a cooling minty touch. The lingering dry oak and burnt caramel note add to the overall complexity.

This Glendronach 33yo Oloroso Sherry Casks is an old elegant whisky that stands out with its exceptionally spicy and woody character, making it a unique experience for connoisseurs. It is a piece of history, offering a window into the maturation process that began in the 1970s and ultimately resulted in a rare and distinguished whisky.
