Assessment: GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 11 28 Years Previous


GlenDronach’s Grandeur releases hold hitting the market, with Batch 11 one of many oldest it’s ever dropped. The 28 12 months outdated bottling is, like Batch 10, drawn from a small variety of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks by which the whisky has been totally matured, not completed.

There’s fairly a similarity between this launch and the prior bottling, and my tasting notes bear a robust resemblance to that launch. The outdated, well-oxidized sherry character is totally on show right here, and my guess is there’s extra PX on this launch than there’s Oloroso. The nostril is intense: toasted nuts, espresso beans, leather-based, and tea left in a single day to pay attention on the backside of a cup. On the palate, I anticipated a shocking sweetness kicks issues off, evoking espresso with sugar, brandied cherries, and a light-weight contact of toasted coconut. Nutty, leathery, and intense on the end. The general complexion is akin to a kind of coffee-laced dessert drinks which might be invariably onerous to place down — I do know I had hassle doing so. The end is sharp with sherry notes and flamed citrus peel parts that develop stronger the longer the whisky spends within the glass. All advised I believe the dial may be pushed a bit too far towards PX this time round, nevertheless it’s onerous to complain to vigorously a few whisky this exuberant and expressive.

97.8 proof.
