Nose: A crescendo of Demerara sugar and Pedro Ximenez sherry notes, and then drifting into the picture dark chocolate and figs. Palate: Luxuriant chocolate-coated raisins, and a wave of spices followed by an explosion of sweet molasses, Demerara and mocha.

Step into the pinnacle of sherried grandeur with Glendronach 41 Year Old – 1971 Vintage, Batch 6 (Cask #1247).
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.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

Single PX puncheon (#1247) saturates Glendronach’s fruity core with decadent dried-fruit richness, chocolate depth and exotic spice.
41 years of dunnage slumber polish the spirit into layers of mahogany, honeyed resin and subtle rancio sophistication.
Bottled at natural cask strength (non-chill-filtered, natural colour) for undiluted body, aroma and its deep sunset-ruby hue.
Part of the legendary Batch 6 single-cask releases—strictly 529 numbered bottles, an essential treasure for collectors and sherry-malt connoisseurs.
Exemplifies Glendronach’s hallmark balance of dark fruit, polished oak and warming spice at its most luxurious and age-defining.

Pour a measure of this distinguished Glendronach and savour an unforgettable union of honeyed depth, opulent PX richness and time-honed elegance—an extraordinary dram that lingers long after the final sip.

The distillery boasts a picturesque setup featuring a traditional cask iron mash tun, wooden washbacks, and four copper stills, all contributing to its distinctive character. Famous for producing richly sherried single malt Scotch whisky, Glendronach offers celebrated expressions such as the Glendronach 21 Year Old Parliament and exclusive single cask releases. Under the ownership of Brown-Forman of America, Glendronach Distillery continues to uphold its legacy of quality and craftsmanship, making it a coveted name among whisky enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
