This rare and exceptional 16-year-old Glendronach Platinum Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky was maturated for at least 16 years in the finest Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and was bottled in the year 2012 as the first release without the addition of colorants and chill filtration as a 750ml bottling and the special grey strong-box exclusively for South Africa in a limited edition at 48.0% ABV.
The coveted and luxurious 16 years Glendronach Platinum Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exquisite expression of Scottish craftsmanship, produced with great care according to ancient tradition at the renowned Glendronach distillery in the Eastern Highlands. It is an exclusive bottling from the Glendronach distillery, which is known for its high-quality, sherry cask-matured whiskies. The special Glendronach Platinum Edition is characterised by its special maturation in carefully selected Oloroso sherry casks and displays an explosion of sherry aromas on the nose with ripe figs, raisins and dark plums. These are accompanied by nuances of hazelnut, dark chocolate and a hint of tobacco and leather. The flavour is powerful and warming with a spicy pepper note, sweet cherry compote, marzipan, espresso and the classic Oloroso notes of walnut and dried fruit. The finish is very long, complex and dry with notes of old oak, dark chocolate and candied orange peel. The influences of fine Oloroso sherry give the whisky a deep, dark amber to mahogany colour and a pleasant sweetness.
This terriffic 16-year-old Glendronach Platinum Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky with its unusual design is considered by connoisseurs to be one of the finest in its class. It has an exceptionally dark colour and deep, chocolatey flavours of extraordinary quality, and is a magnificent expression of the unique sherry style for which the exquisite Glendronach Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are so famous. Glendronach Platinum is an exclusive and now rare special bottling from the traditional Highland distillery. It was originally created for travel retail (duty free) and selected export markets (especially South Africa) as a luxurious bridge between the standard range (12, 15, 18 years) and the exclusive single cask bottlings.
The exquisite 16 years Glendronach Platinum Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskies were only produced from 2012 to 2014 and date back to the era of master blender Billy Walker, who was known for particularly heavy and dark sherry bottlings. Today, they are considered by connoisseurs, discerning whisky collectors and lovers of old Scotch whiskies as some of Glendronach s most sought-after rarities on the market and are becoming increasingly hard to find.
