GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 7 – mit Tasting Notes

Aus dem Hause BenRiach gibt es heute wieder eine Sonderabfüllung: den GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 7 – 25 Jahre. Der Vorgänger war ein Batch 6 und 24 Jahre alt. Der neue Grandeur ist also ein Jahr älter.

GlenDronach Grandeur, 25yo, Batch #7, 1.180 Flaschen, 50.6%, ca. 500-600.- EUR

Der Grandeur wurde ausschliesslich in Oloroso Sherry Fässern gelagert. Bei ersten Händlern ist dieser schon verfügbar, aber vergleicht die Preise. Obwohl… wenn Ihr bei dem Preis ein Zucken in den Fingern bekommt, sind die 100.- EUR extra sicher auch kein Problem für Euch.

Original Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: 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 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.

GLENDRONACH LAUNCHES NEW GRANDEUR 25 YEAR-OLD

AWARD-WINNING GlenDronach today (18 January) welcomes 2016 by launching batch 7 of the GlenDronach Grandeur series, an extraordinary limited edition expression for the serious connoisseur.

GlenDronach 25YO Grandeur Batch 7 Flasche und VerpackungThis latest batch of Grandeur, bottled at 50.6% abv, has been exclusively matured for over 25 years in the finest Oloroso sherry casks.

It is another sumptuous and long-aged representation of the incredibly smooth, complex and full-bodied style for which the Aberdeenshire distillery is renowned.

This bottling, batch number 7 of the Grandeur releases, is limited to 1180 bottles. Individually numbered by hand, each one is a one-off and truly unique, making it a very special single malt – showing the finest sherry oak casks, expert maturation and traditional crafted Highland single malt in perfect harmony.

Grandeur has been specially selected by Master Distiller, Billy Walker, from some of GlenDronach’s oldest and most unique Oloroso sherry casks. A vast selection of barrels, hogsheads, puncheons and butts have been maturing in the traditional dunnage warehouses since the 1960s, and it is the most extraordinary and remarkable of these which have been chosen for this very special bottling.

Conclusions:   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.

Grandeur is now available from specialist whisky retailers.
