Glendronach 43 Year Old 1972 Batch 12 (2015)
Bottle Information
Tasting Notes
Filled on 25 April 1972 into a single Pedro Ximénez sherry butt, this Highland jewel slumbered for more than four decades in the distillery’s cool dunnage warehouses before being drawn at natural cask strength in August 2015. Bottled non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 414 individually numbered bottles showcase Glendronach’s signature dark-fruit depth elevated to cathedral-like grandeur—polished mahogany, walnut cake and rancio-laced spice in every lavish drop.
