Pojawiło się cos nowego. Czy to ma być zamiast Grandeur 24 yo ?
Master Distiller Billy Walker has selected five Pedro Ximenez Sherry Octaves from GlenDronach’s Aberdeenshire distillery to be bottled as the GlenDronach 20 Years Old Octaves.
An octave cask is made from staves of a previously used sherry butt and is approximately one-eighth the size of a butt. A smaller cask allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit, giving the whisky a greater depth of flavour and aroma in a shorter period of time. This means a bold, complex dram with astonishing multi-dimensional character, making each and every bottle a sublime example of Highland whisky at its very finest.
Distilled on September 23 1994, this unique full-flavoured whisky was first matured in sherry casks and thereafter finished in Pedro Ximenez Sherry Octaves. GlenDronach tell me that the result is a rare combination of heavyweight sherry Octave maturation and robust rich Highland whisky characteristics.
This is a very limited, exclusive bottling, with only 371 bottles produced was bottled at 48% ABV. Individually numbered by hand, each bottle is a one-off and truly unique.
