The Fruitcake Cask
Of the two 1993 casks in this batch, #4195 is the darker, more vinous pour — 28 years in an Oloroso sherry puncheon turned it toward spiced winter fruitcake, treacle, and dark plum jam, all at a natural 105 proof. Only 664 hand-numbered bottles exist from the cask. Compare the sibling GlenDronach single casks, or explore more cask-strength scotch.
Tasting Notes
Date and hazelnut fruitcake, demerara sugar, treacle, polished oak, tobacco, and dried blueberry on the nose; the palate layers spiced winter fruitcake, walnut, burnt sugar, rich ground coffee, and dark plum and grape jam; long and warming into dried fruit, dark sweetness, and oak spice.
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate its full weight, then a few drops of water to loosen the fruitcake density. Share it with someone who reads age statements for fun.
