Master distiller Billy Walker selected some of the distillery’s oldest casks from the site’s dunnage warehouses for the release.
According to the brand, the nose offers “an abundance of classic sherried fruits, rich damsons, dates and sweet plum juice”, while the palate represents an “elegant, vintage sherry style” with notes including “Mediterranean fruits, sun-dried raisins, dates, fig syrup, chocolate fondant and roasted coffee”.
GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 7 is limited to 1,180 individually numbered bottles, each presented in a luxury box. The expression retails at around £400 and is available now from specialist whisky retailers.
In November, the BenRiach Distillery Company-owned producer released its first peated expression, The GlenDronach Peated.
