Glendronach 26 Year Old 1992 Single Cask Single Malt Scotch This cask is part of the seventeenth release of The GlenDronach’s acclaimed Cask Bottling programme, which celebrates some of the finest examples of the distillery’s richly-sherried Highland Single Malt. Each expression has been bottled from a single cask, specially selected by our Master Blender, for its exceptional character.

Fourteen casks have been chosen, dating from 1990 to 2007, and each individually explores the sophistication, powerful intricacy and rich layers of Spanish sherry cask maturation found in every GlenDronach expression. From caramelised dates and baked banana bread in 1990 to baked blackberry and currants with dark chocolate in 1992, burnt raisin and Oloroso-soaked tobacco leaf in 1995 to baked apple pie and cinnamon in 2007.

The distinctive flavour and rich mouthfeel of each cask has developed during the slow maturation process. All fourteen casks are bottled without chill filtration for richness, at high strength and are naturally deep in colour. 828 bottles of cask #5896 have been released in Asia, Australia, Canada & New Zealand

This Cask #5896 from 1992 has been bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered and at natural colour. 828 bottles only are available for Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. As supplies are very limited, hurry to place your order so you don't miss out!

Glendronach 25 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 1992 Single Cask 700mL

Glendronach 26 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 1992 Single Cask Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Deep Mahogany. Long & slow oily legs Nose: Heaps of rich and aromatic sherry is the first and obvious thing to hit you. And the other (and anticipated), usual suspects to arrive are heady antique furniture polish, chocolate-rich fondant, dark & sticky dates, fig rolls, juicy raisins, dark cherry jam. And way off in the distance is the faintest wiggle of a feinty and sulphurous element. This is an “ohh emm gee” nose-moment for the classic GlenDronach fan.

 

Palate: Thick, rich and sweet with a spiced-sherry reduction. There’s an element of vanilla thrown in for good measure. But then a bitter dryness appears out of nowhere and shoulder-barges the sweetness out of the way. What’s happening? Now the faint sulphurous tone detected on the nose jumps in and makes itself known, but it’s not too strong and is at the level similar to another favourite cask from an earlier batch (#1020), and it’s a friendly handshake. I’m starting to feel like the word “sulphur” & “Voldemort” are both words that are taboo and must not be named. However, another sip and that dryness does now appear to be getting a little overpowering. It’s no longer the delicate, warming, and sweet whisky I had on the nose but more woody, tart and dry.

 

Finish: Long with a flow from crisp and toffee-like sweetness that moves to a bitter-bite and dryness with a feinty-head.
