Glendronach Single Cask - Batch 10 Archive Release

The Glendronach Single Cask Series Batch 10, released in 2014, featured a selection of single malt Scotch whiskies drawn from individual casks. The whiskies in this batch were distilled in the early to mid 1990s and matured in a mix of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Each bottling was chosen to showcase the influence of long-term sherry cask maturation, a hallmark of the Glendronach distillery.
