Glendronach 20 Years Old - Octaves
Master distiller Billy Walker has selected five Pedro Ximenez Sherry Octaves from the distillery's warehouses to be bottled as the GlenDronach 20 Years Old Octaves.
An octave cask is made from staves of a previously used sherry butt and is approximately one-eighth the size of a butt. A smaller cask allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit, giving the whisky a greater depth of flavour and aroma in a shorted period of time.
This is a very limited, exclusive bottling, with only 371 bottles produced.
