Description

This single malt celebrates deep sherry influence, a signature of heritage Highland distillery Glendronach. This decadent malt matured solely in the most premium Pedro Ximénez casks that imparted their immense colour and flavour. It is a proud member of the 'Masters Anthology' series by Glendronach. As evening folds slowly into night, darkness announces the coming of richer rewards, with tastes deepening and inviting savouring. Matured in exceptional Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, and bottled at 50.8% ABV, this sumptuous expression elevates richness to a sublime apex, with layers of flavour coming together to create a work of indulgence. It is described as a robust and very grown-up single malt, offering a combination of sweet, rich, savoury, and drying notes.

Nose
A symphony of mocha, black cherry, dark chocolate, and crème brûlée with raisin, brown sugar, and ginger. Ripe dark cherries, rum-soaked raisins, molasses, cinnamon chai tea, treacle, polished oak, and subtle freshly milled barley. Milk chocolate, prunes, hazelnuts, brazil nut, old walnut furniture, meaty, earthy, umami, bitter orange, earthy malt, and dried mushroom.
Palate
Velvet layers of smooth espresso and crème caramel fold into black grape and mint chocolate ganache. Rich, thick, and viscous with luscious, bold, nutty flavors, praline, chocolate, cocoa powder, plump sugary raisins, brandy-soaked prunes, black treacle, molasses, bitter orange, and apricot compote. Rich, velvety fruit and warm spices, with dark chocolate notes and a sherried depth.
Finish
Long, warm, and beautifully controlled by a gentle bitterness of dark chocolate. Citrus peel, dried cranberries, fading molasses, baked apples, and soft winter spices. Drying nuttiness, hot peppery spice, and a touch of salt.
