Glendronach 16 Year Old Boynsmill 70cl
Brand: Glendronach | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Highlands, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Intro/Heritage:
Named after the land where the Glendronach distillery was founded in 1826, Boynsmill is more than a whisky, it’s a homecoming. Matured in a trio of exceptional casks, this 16-year-old expression captures the heart of sherried Highland style, with richness, depth, and a story in every pour.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Deep and resonant, layers of dried figs, rich toffee, warm baking spice, and old oak libraries. Hints of cherry wood and orange oil add a regal brightness.
Palate: Luxuriously full. Waves of dark fruit compote, walnut loaf, and treacle toffee unfold alongside spiced plum and subtle espresso. Silky tannins from the oak give it poise, while the sherry influence brings unmistakable grandeur.
Finish: Long, warming, and elegant. Notes of cinnamon, chocolate-covered raisin, and nutty oak linger gracefully, a fade that’s slow, deliberate, and deeply satisfying.

Production Details:
Matured for 16 years in a mix of Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso, and ex-bourbon casks, Boynsmill is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% to preserve its rich texture and natural character. The balance of sherry depth and bourbon sweetness creates a nuanced, layered dram with Highland finesse.

Perfect For:
Fireside reflections, celebratory nights, or quiet moments that deserve a whisky with presence. Ideal for those who want to experience Glendronach’s signature richness in a slightly more modern, multi-cask format.
