Glendronach 2008 Single PX Cask 11 Year Old Garden State Select No.1 #4189 (75cl, 60.4%)

Description

GlenDronach 2008 Single PX Cask 11 Year Old Garden State Select No.1 Cask #4189 75cl, 60.4% is a limited Highland single malt selected exclusively for the United States market.

Distilled on 1 October 2008 and bottled in 2020, the whisky matured for eleven years in a single Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon. Every bottle was drawn solely from Cask #4189, preserving the distinctive character created during its full maturation in richly seasoned sherry oak.

The whisky combines stewed orchard fruit, sultanas and honey with demerara sugar, milk chocolate, orange zest and toasted oak. Cinnamon, allspice and clove bring warming complexity, while its natural strength of 60.4% provides a powerful, buttery and mouth-coating drinking experience.

Only 593 individually numbered bottles were produced for Garden State Select No.1. Its small outturn, American-market identity and single-cask provenance make it particularly appealing to collectors of rare GlenDronach releases.

Why Choose GlenDronach 2008 Single PX Cask 11 Year Old Garden State Select No.1 Cask #4189 75cl, 60.4%

This expression stands out because it captures the complete character of one Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheon rather than blending whisky from several casks. Once the original 593 bottles were filled, the precise combination of fruit, chocolate, spice and oak found in Cask #4189 could not be reproduced.

For drinkers, the 60.4% cask strength delivers considerable intensity, supported by stewed apples, raisins, vanilla barley, chocolate and orange. A small amount of water may reduce the alcohol warmth and reveal additional honey, creamy malt and baking-spice notes.

For collectors, the exact 2008 vintage, Garden State Select No.1 designation, American 75cl format and limited numbered outturn provide excellent identity and rarity.

Collector’s Note

GlenDronach Cask #4189 has strong collector appeal because its production was permanently restricted to 593 bottles from one Pedro Ximénez puncheon. The precise vintage, distillation date, age, cask number and natural strength make the release easy to identify within a serious GlenDronach collection.

The Garden State Select No.1 designation and 75cl American-market presentation further distinguish it from the distillery’s standard European releases. Specialist auction records confirm that individually numbered examples have appeared with their original packaging, demonstrating an established secondary-market presence.

Complete examples retaining the original presentation box and bottle tag are especially attractive for display. The bottle number, fill level, capsule, labels, tag and packaging condition should be documented carefully when offering this whisky to collectors.
