GlenDronach er kommet til den 7'ende aftapning i deres Cask Strength afatpning.
Denne aftapning har ligget på Pedro Ximénez og Oloroso sherry casks.
Master Blender Rachel Barrie har udvalgt fadene til denne aftapning og hun siger: "The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7 is rich in the rewards of slow, mellow and complex sherry cask maturation in the earthen-floored dunnage warehouses at Glendronach; the rewards being a sublime aroma, rounded taste, full body and long-lasting finish. With a cask selection spanning Summer, Autumn and Winter distillation at GlenDronach, the resulting marriage delivers a malt with a robust heart, complex taste and smooth mellow maturity, belying it’s 57.9% cask strength. A drop or two of water rounds and mellows the flavour further revealing figs, walnut cream and traces of aromatic tobacco lingering into the persistent sherry cask finish.
The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 7 continues our tradition of marrying the finest Spanish oak sherry casks with our robust Highland malt. In this expression, maturation in Oloroso casks has developed a smooth, nutty and rounded character, with notes of Highland toffee, walnut cream, sultana bread and figs. Maturation in Pedro Ximénez casks has contributed plum, cherry and chocolate. Batch 7 offers a unique opportunity to get to know the richly sherried yet smooth and mellow side of GlenDronach cask maturation at natural cask strength."
Aftapning vil være at finde hos de fleste forhandlere i denne måned.
Nogle er også begyndt at kalde denne her for JD aftapningen på grund af 7 tallet i cirkelen.
