The Glendronach 28yo Grandeur 11
In the 11th batch of The GlenDronach Granduer series, master blender Rachel Barrie has personally selected well-aged whisky drawn from oloroso casks. At 28 years old, this single malt from the Highland distillery was bottled at 48.9%, with a release of 3,181 bottles, each housed in a wooden presentation box.
Tasting notes:
Appearance: Ruby tinged walnut
Nose: opulent and powerful with a symphony of sherry aromatics interwoven with dark manuka honey, roasted almond and walnut baked plum and ginger captivate the senses, deepening to rustic vintage leather and freshly ground coffee.
Palate: Intense and full-bodied with dark fruit notes on a base of velvet and fine leather. A crescendo of black cherry and espresso adorns each mouthful.
Conclusions: Richly rewarding, with a persistent chocolate, liquorice and walnut finish.
