Process & Profile

GlenDronach 1993 Cask #4197 is a single cask, sherry-matured Highland single malt drawn from an Oloroso puncheon and bottled after 28 years of aging. This is the kind of bottle built for collectors and sherry-cask lovers—one cask, one snapshot in time, and a profile that leans deep, dark, and layered from long maturation in seasoned oak. Bottled at cask strength (52.3% ABV / 104.6 proof), it delivers concentrated flavor and a fuller mouthfeel, with the strength to keep its structure even as it opens in the glass.

Expect a rich sherry-driven style: dried fruits, dark sweetness, warming spice, and a firm oak backbone that comes from nearly three decades in cask. It’s a slow-sip whisky—best enjoyed neat first, then adjusted drop by drop until it hits your perfect balance.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark fruits (raisin, fig, sultana), cocoa, espresso, polished oak, warm spice

• Palate: Dense sherry richness with stewed fruit, dark chocolate, toasted nuts, baking spice, and a firm oak grip

• Finish: Long and evolving—dried fruit, spice, and lingering oak with a warming, cask-strength fade

What Makes It Special

• Single cask release (Cask #4197): one-barrel character from start to finish

• 28 years old with deep Oloroso influence and mature oak structure

• Oloroso puncheon maturation for rich dried-fruit depth and darker sweetness

• Cask strength 52.3% ABV (104.6 proof) for intensity and a long finish

• Presented as a limited, collectible-style bottling with batch-specific identity

How to Enjoy

Start neat in a tulip glass and give it a few minutes—this style tends to expand as oxygen pulls out more fruit, cocoa, and spice. Then add a few drops of water to lift sweetness and soften the oak edges while keeping the sherry core intact. If you prefer a slower evolution, use one large cube and let it gradually shift from deep sherry richness toward brighter fruit and softer spice.
