Glendronach 28 Years Old 1993 Antipodes 70cl 52.3°
Glendronach 28 years old 1993 Antipodes is a Single Cask from a single Oloroso Puncheon cask: a type of cask widely used in the Sherry industry in Spain which has a capacity of 480 to 520 litres. This Glendronach whisky has thus benefited from intense aromatic exchanges during its 28 years of maturation.
This rare edition was distilled at a time when the stills of the Glendronach distillery were still heated in the traditional way, with coal over an open flame. It embodies with precision the rich and exuberant style of this prestigious Single Malt from the Highlands.
Despite its bewitching character, this whisky surprises with its exceptional freshness, both in its aromas and in its flavours. During the tasting, it reveals deep and exotic notes, as well as a herbaceous touch which gives it a unique personality.
The Antipodes collection is a selection of rare spirits from around the world.

Glendronach means "valley of mulberries" in Gaelic. Located near the town of Huntly east of Speyside in Scotland. This distillery implements traditional methods of production (malting including drying partly with peat fire, as well as the heating of stills). This largely explains the powerful character and strong personality of his Single Malt.
Always very rich, Glendronach whisky is fully revealed in Sherry cask versions. It shows a perfect balance between the notes of Sherry, malted barley and fruits (red fruits).
Glendronach in East Speyside stands apart from other distilleries in the area. Its blackened stone buildings, pagodas and blood-red shutters immediately attract attention. The small stream that runs through the inner courtyard of the distillery reinforces its artisanal and traditional character.
Destroyed by a fire in 1837, it was rebuilt in 1852 and bought in 1920 by Charles Grant, son of the founder of Glenfiddich. Sold in 1960 to William Teacher & Son, it doubled its production capacity in 1966, the number of stills from two to four.
Until it was dormant in 1996, Glendronach was still malting some of its barley. Once again operational since May 14, 2002, its stills are still heated with coal.
Currently, Brown Forman (Jack Daniels) is the owner of the distillery. Rachel Barrie is the Malt Master of the 3 Glendronach, Benriach and Glenglassaugh distilleries.
