An exceptional sherry single malt, no less than 30 years old , fully matured in a powerful PX puncheon. This is Glendronach at its most intense: deep, dark, rich, and complex.

• Nose: dark raisins, dried dates, syrup, mahogany, old leather notes.

• Palate: Very full – thick PX sweetness, dark chocolate, plum compote, espresso and spices that slowly open up.

• Finish: long, warm, syrupy with notes of raisins, dark cocoa and soft oak.

For whom?

This bottling is ideal for lovers of heavy, rich sherry bomb whiskies , especially those who enjoy:

• Glendronach 1993 Oloroso

• Glenallachie 1989/1990 PX casks

• Tamdhu Batch Strength (for the sherry impact, but this is much older and more complex)

Investment potential

• Only 402 bottles worldwide

• Pre-1996 Glendronach bottlings remain in strong demand

• 30 years old + PX puncheon = beloved by collectors

• Batch 18 bottlings have historically steadily increased in value

Conclusion: Excellent for both drinkers and investors. This is a bottle you won't be able to repurchase once it's gone.
