Scottish whisky distillery GlenDronach on Monday announced the release of The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11, a sherried single malt whisky hand-selected by Master Blender Rachel Barrie from Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.
“The GlenDronach Grandeur is an unparalleled range of the finest aromas and character from masterful Spanish oak sherry cask maturation,” Barrie said in a news release. “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 bottle sealed with wax and hand-numbered. The GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11 is bottled at 48.9% ABV. It is available in the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $800.
