Glendronach 41 Year Old 1971 Batch 6 (2012)
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Filled on 26 February 1971 into a single Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon and resting undisturbed in the distillery’s cool dunnage warehouses for more than four decades, this venerable malt was drawn at natural cask strength for Glendronach’s coveted single-cask series in 2012. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 529 individually numbered bottles capture a mesmerising tapestry of dark fruit, walnut cake, polished mahogany and subtle rancio—an era-defining dram for sherried-malt devotees.
