The east Highlands distillery of Glendronach has announced details of the latest batch of its cult Grandeur single malt. This is Batch 9 and as with previous bottlings it has been matured exclusive in Spanish oak ex-sherry casks. It carries an age statement of 24 years old but is comprised of whisky distilled in 1990, 1992 and 1993. These have been carefully selected by Rachel Barrie, the Master Blender for Glendronach.
The Grandeur Batch 9 is bottled at the natural cask strength of 48.7% ABV and is non chill-filtered and of natural colour. There will be just 1,487 bottles and these will be available through selected specialist whisky retailers in selected world markets. The recommended price is £450 per bottle.
"Batch 9 is a single malt of finesse, powerful complexity and persistence, reaching heights of maturity and depth of character that approach single malt perfection. The Glendronach Grandeur is the pinnacle of the distillery's house style."
