The GlenDronach 31 Years 1990 Cask 7423 Batch 19

$2,480.00

Glendronach Distillery has now released Batch 19 in their single cask series consisting of 12 casks selected by Master Blender, Rachel Barry that were matured in either Pedro Ximénez or Oloroso sherry puncheons and butts distilled between 1990 and 1994. You can only purchase all 12 expressions in person at the distillery as portions of the series are assigned to different international markets. The Australian market has been allocated 4 bottles from the series with vintages from 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993. Australia’s allocation this year has been so small that we only have a handful of each expression to sell.

This GlenDronach single cask is one of only 616 bottles that was laid to rest for 31 lazy years in a single Pedro Ximenez sherry puncheon. Rare and collectable, it’s next level Glendronach. Like all Glendronach single casks, the whisky is non-chill filtered with no added colour.

GlenDronach, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, creating the finest richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years.

The GlenDronach is of true Highland style: a heavy and robust spirit, perfect for a long maturation period in sherry casks. At The GlenDronach Distillery, we have carried forth the tradition of our founder James Allardice since 1826, maturing our whisky in the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucía.

We continue to work towards mastering the art of sherry cask maturation, and our Highland whiskies are recognized for their deep colour and rich flavour profiles, which range from sweet fruity flavours, from the Pedro Ximenez casks we select, to the dry and nutty notes, from superb Oloroso casks. Our well-kept secrets have been guarded for nearly 200 years by a parliament of rooks who love The GlenDronach so much they try to nest in the warehouses. The distillery folk believe as long as the rooks remain at the distillery, it will be good for the whisky.

As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks. Our distilling methods may be old-fashioned, but we prefer to look on them as handcrafted techniques created through nearly 200 years of tradition.

From the germination of the barley to the flow of the purest middle cuts of distilled spirit, every step in The GlenDronach journey is taken with meticulous care and immaculate timing.

Our malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and traditional wooden washbacks form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Our elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the richest spirit which is then filled into the finest casks and left patiently maturing in our warehouses. Nearly 70% of the flavour in whisky is derived from the cask it has been matured in. Wood’s important, which is why we adopt a ‘no compromise’ approach when choosing our world-renowned sherry casks to enrich our whisky. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that The GlenDronach is famous for.
