Glendronach Launches A New Sherry Bomb Malt
Today, The GlenDronach Distillery announces the much-anticipated release of The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11, an exquisite example of the brand’s signature richly-sherried Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11 is a 28-year-old Single Malt hand-selected by Master Blender Rachel Barrie from a small number of rare Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.
This rare and luxurious expression was matured in fine sherry casks for nearly three decades and epitomizes The GlenDronach’s mastery of sherry cask maturation. It embodies the brand’s commitment to crafting the most exceptional, richly sherried Single Malts, using time-honored methods passed down through the generations for almost two centuries.
“The GlenDronach Grandeur is an unparalleled range of the finest aromas and character from masterful Spanish oak sherry cask maturation,” said Master Blender Rachel Barrie. “A Single Malt of elegant finesse, this expression offers a symphony of sherry aromatics interwoven with dark manuka honey, roasted almond, and walnut. It is intense and full-bodied, as is the signature of The GlenDronach, with a crescendo of black cherry and espresso adorning each mouthful.”
A limited number of Grandeur Batch 11 bottles will be available, with each individual bottle sealed with wax and numbered by hand to reflect its rarity. The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11 is bottled at 48.9% ABV, and, as is the case for all The GlenDronach expressions, develops its deep color naturally over time from the Spanish oak in which it rests. It is available in the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $800.
