Ad of the Day | Southpaw Launches "A Story Of Rare Dedication" For The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years
Feb. 08, 2022
The GlenDronach Distillery has released 198 bottles of its oldest and rarest whisky to date, retailing for £20,000 each.
The Scotland-based distillery has rolled out The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years on a limited basis, with fewer than 200 bottles available worldwide. Distilled in 1971, the whisky is The GlenDronach's first 50-Year-Old Single Malt ever to be released.
Strategic creative agency Southpaw were tasked with bringing the story of this exquisite whisky to life. Creating a luxurious storytelling platform with sumptuous shots by Mallinson Television Productions and Christina Kernohan in Scotland, and Jonathan Knowles in London, and covering digital, social, and print media across the globe.
Glenn Smith, Creative Director at Southpaw said:
"A story of rare dedication. It is the perfect way to sum up our new campaign for The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years. This incredibly rare liquid almost didn't make it, but for the passion and skill of the local whisky community who kept it alive, and it’s been an honour to tell that story".
Master Blender Rachel Barrie said:
"The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years is the most prestigious expression of what this timeless, richly-Sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has to offer. At 50 years old, it is exceptionally rich and seductive, with mellow layers of alluring complexity. It has been a privilege to be the final custodian of our oldest expression to date, passed down through generations. The result is a hand-crafted Highland single malt that tells a story of rare dedication, of which The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years is the rarest of them all."
The liquid was matured in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso Sherry casks from the Spanish bodegas of Jerez in Andalucia then married for a final maturation in a single Pedro Ximenez cask.
The 43.8% ABV whisky offers aromas of dark cherry and plum with a plume of tobacco on the nose. On the palate, the liquid delivers flavors of dark chocolate, black cherry, and espresso.
Presented in a leather case, The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years is packaged with a leather booklet detailing the distillery’s history and craft.
The first bottle of The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years, labeled number one, was donated to an auction in December 2021, raising £40,000 to support disadvantaged young people in Scotland.
Each hand-numbered bottle will be available to purchase from selected specialist retailers worldwide.
