GLENDRONACH MASTER VINTAGE 1993 25YO 48.2% 70CL

In 1826, deep in the Forgue valley of the east Highland hills, founder James Allardice built his distillery. He named it ‘GlenDronach’, Scots Gaelic for ‘valley of the brambles’. So began their dedicated quest of nearly two centuries, to master a signature style which is elegant, rich and robust, maturing The GlenDronach in the finest sherry casks from Andaluciain Spain. Sherry casks laid down in 1993 have received high praise, with malt aficionados naming these casks as some of the best ever released. The GlenDronach 1993 Master Vintage shows that such reverence is well-deserved.

For this vintage, a small number of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks were hand-selected to create a marriage of exceptional richness and complexity. It is a truly masterful expression of this robust Highland single malt. After twenty-five years in the finest sherrywood, The Glendronach 1993 Master Vintage is an extraordinary limited edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Expect profound layers of depth and complexity, leading to an exceedingly long, voluptuous and memorable finish.

Colour: Mahogany with a golden walnut hue. Nose: Rich brandy-laced fruitcake and marzipan on a base of smoked walnut and toasted sultana bread. Taste: Sip cocoa-dusted coffee and sultana brioche enlivened by a twist of baked orange rind and the juiciness of prune oil. Finish: Savour the long velvet taste of rich cocoa and dates as pecan toffee lingers into the sumptuous finish.
