1992 GlenDronach 25 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Cask No. 127 (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 50.9% Age: 25 Years Old Country: Scotland
From its hillside home in the Scottish Highlands, The GlenDronach Distillery has been creating the finest richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years. From the germination of the barley to the flow of the purest middle cuts of distilled spirit, every step in the GlenDronach journey to the vat and onwards is taken with meticulous care and immaculate timing. The GlenDronach malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and Oregon pine wash-backs form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Then, there’s the 4 elegant copper pot stills which distil and re-distil the finest, richest spirit. What follows is the final secret of GlenDronach’s exceptional character. As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that GlenDronach is famous for.
You can expect a spicy, smoky malt with lots of rich full bodied flavours and very smooth.
This GlenDronach single cask has been distilled in 1992 and left for 25 years to mature in one Sherry Butt. Only 636 bottles worldwide were produced. If you’re a GlenDronach fan then this one is not to be missed, check out these tasting notes.
Our Tasting Notes
Appearance: Polished Walnut. Long and slow oily legs.
Nose: A plethora of aromas. Boozy sherry-soaked fruit & juicy raisins… and then creamy hazelnuts… and then warming cake spice… and just when you can’t take anymore, a surprise delivery of crème anglaise.
Once again, I’ve found a whisky that I can just nose for ages as all the different aromas and fragrances float to the surface and dance around. Drinking it is secondary (yeah right) Absolutely Glorious.
Palate: If the nose gave a decadent treat, the palate doesn’t disappoint either. It’s beautifully
balanced with a deep sweetness from the sherry-soaked oak staves. Warm buttery toffee
with light oiliness spread across the tongue and carefully pulls at the taste buds. Creamy
milk chocolate also appears, but fleetingly. The sweetness really stays for an age – even
when gentle woody tannins appear, and they sit quite happily side-by-side.
Finish: Gloriously long and lingering. The slightest note of smoke leaves the mouth
in a gentle dry wake whilst the whole palate is coated in a beautifully dark and
complex sweetness. Gentle dryness stays.
Water adds… I honestly didn’t want to add any water to this as it’s outstanding.
But… increased fruit on the nose that takes up a slight sourness and also a
resinous & woody tone. The palate is very much drier with a smoked nuttiness.
The finish is dry with a pepper-fizz.
Conclusion: Rich and vibrant. It’s bursting with flavour. An absolutely beautiful
cask selection. And the years in the cask have had quite a big impact on the ABV,
but that’s absolutely fine.
