{"product_id":"the-glendronach-cask-strength-batch-9","title":"The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 9","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, the GlenDronach distillery is steeped in tradition, which is carried on today with the casks they use. Founder James Allardice was a big supporter of maturing whisky in Spanish Sherry casks. It’s these casks, maturing slowly while hidden away deep in the Forge Valley in the East Highlands that are responsible for the style of whisky we know GlenDronach for today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late cuts of the stills at GlenDronach give a big, oily and heavy spirit that really plays into the hands of the rich fruity characteristics the Sherry casks will impart. There are two different cask types that make up the GlenDronach Cask Strength batch releases: Pedro Ximénez, which helps impart the full-bodied fruit flavours and that treacly sweetness, while Oloroso brings a dry and nuttiness to the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaster Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie individually picks out the casks that will make up each Cask Strength release and says “The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 9 is incredibly rich and full-bodied; the result of years of slow maturation in Pedro Ximénez puncheons and Oloroso Sherry butts.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at the natural cask strength of 59.4% ABV and owing all its natural colour to the slow maturation in those Spanish Oak casks, this is absolute benchmark Sherried perfection laying on a feast of fruit mince pies, and orange blossom bursting into a mouth-watering palate of rich caramel mud cake, profiteroles and sweet spices that you don’t want to miss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf Mum’s boozy Christmas cake could come in liquid form, then this would be it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mammoth, mouth-watering deliciousness of GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 9 has now sold out.
