The GlenDronach Cask Strength, Batch 12, is the 12th release in the Cask Strength Series. This exceptional expression undergoes a patient maturation process in esteemed Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Andalucía, Spain. Under the expertise of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, each batch is skillfully curated to embody a deep, captivating hue, a rich tapestry of flavors, and an exquisite, lingering finish. The whisky derives its natural and alluring colors from its time spent maturing in Spanish oak casks.
As with all expressions of The GlenDronach, all of the natural colour is drawn from slow maturation in Spanish oak casks.
