Glendronach 43 Year Old 1971 Batch 11 (2014)
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Filled on 28 May 1971 into a single Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon, the whisky slumbered in the distillery’s stone dunnage for over four decades before being bottled—at natural cask strength—in November 2014. Un-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 523 individually numbered bottles showcase Glendronach’s signature dark-fruit depth transformed into a cathedral of polished mahogany, walnut cake and rancio-tinged spice.
