The whisky, bottled as ‘Grandeur’, has been specially selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker from some of the oldest and most unique Oloroso sherry casks at GlenDronach. This superb expression, at 50.6% vol., is a classic representation of the smooth, complex and full-bodied style that the GlenDronach Distillery is famous for. Presented in a beautiful wooden case, individually numbered by hand, each bottle is a one off and truly unique.
Tasting Note~ Color: Rich red wood flecked with gold. Nose:An abundance of classic sherried fruits, rich damsons, dates and sweet plum juice infused with freshly sliced ginger and cracked black pepper. Softer notes of orange chocolate and walnut loaf add a delicate balance to the robust dark sherry influences. Palate:An elegant, vintage sherry style comprising of classic Mediterranean fruits, dark sun-dried raisins, dates and fig syrup infused with delicate chocolate fondant, roasted coffee and a dusting of ground almonds. A delightful combination of sophisticated warm oak spices, freshly-cut ginger and gentle waves of caramelised orange gives a vibrant crisp contrast to the traditional Highland sherry cask characteristics. Finish:After a quarter of a century peacefully lying in our traditional dunnage warehouses, Master Blender Billy Walker has selected a combination of characterful casks which truly encapsulates the rich history and heritage between the Highland character of GlenDronach and the finest Spanish oloroso sherry casks.
