Appearance Deep Autumn gold with a warm amber glow. Nose A tremendous concentration of fruits, nuts, and berries enveloped in a coffee and mocha glaze. Subtle sweet sherry notes interact beautifully with sticky date pudding aromas. Palate Very big gusty flavours adorn each mouthful, yet with perfect balance and refinement. Initial spiced orange flavours and rich Oloroso sherry are met mid-palate with roasted almonds, coffee and treacle. The dry concentrated flavours from the almonds and the Oloroso sherry are balanced in perfect harmony with sultanas, chocolate and honey. Conclusions This is a rewarding, memorable and captivating GlenDronach expression for a special occasion.

The whisky, bottled as ‘Grandeur’, has been specially selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker from some of the oldest and most unique Oloroso casks at GlenDronach. This superb expression, at 45.8% vol. Cask strength, is a classical representation of the smooth, complex and full bodied style that the GlenDronach Distillery is famous for. Individually numbered by hand, each bottle is a one off and truly unique.
