The Glendronach Cask Strength Batch 12 is a limited-edition single malt whisky from the renowned Highland-based Glendronach distillery, celebrated for its richly sherried malts. This final release in the Cask Strength series is a masterful marriage of the finest Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, hand-selected by master blender Rachel Barrie. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 58.2% ABV, this whisky maintains its natural color and is non-chill filtered to provide a richer and fuller flavor profile. From the moment you open the bottle, the whisky greets you with a creamy cappuccino aroma, intertwined with notes of raisin fruit cake, cherry liqueur, and sandalwood. The palate unfolds with velvety spice, dark chocolate tiramisu, orange peel, toasted almond, and crystallized ginger. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression with notes of amaretto-laced mocha, morello cherry, and crème brûlée. As the 12th release in Glendronach's esteemed Cask Strength series, this full-bodied dram is matured in a combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. The Glendronach distillery, founded in the 1820s, is one of the most significant distilleries in the Highlands of Scotland, known for producing richly sherried malts. This whisky continues the proud tradition of previous editions, composed entirely of distillates aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. Bottled in 2023 at 58.2%, it retains its natural color and has not been chill-filtered. The aroma is reminiscent of damp peat, creamy cappuccino, orange cake with raisins, cherry liqueur, and sandalwood. The taste is velvety, with spicy notes, dark chocolate tiramisu, fresh orange peel, toasted almonds, and crystallized ginger. The finish is long and expressive, with notes of mocha and a hint of amaretto.
