From its hillside home in the Scottish Highlands, The GlenDronach Distillery has been creating the finest richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years. From the germination of the barley to the flow of the purest middle cuts of distilled spirit, every step in the GlenDronach journey to the vat and onwards is taken with meticulous care and immaculate timing. The GlenDronach malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and Oregon pine wash-backs form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Their 4 elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the finest, richest spirit. What follows is the final secret of GlenDronach’s exceptional character. As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that GlenDronach is famous for. You can expect a spicy, smoky malt with lots of rich full bodied flavours and very smooth.

This rare single malt whisky from the GlenDronach Highland distillery is matured for 21 years in a combination of the finest Oloroso Sherry and Pedro Ximinez Sherry casks. The distillery have crafted this whisky perfectly through years of traditional methods and sourcing of the ideal barrel types to enhance the characteristics of the spirit. If your a fan of single malt whisky matured in sherry casks then this is a spirit at the top of its game which boasts a long and lingering finish.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: At first you’re reminded of Autumn, picking brambles and blackberries then combining them in a pot for jam. The jam flavour fills the air as you spread previously made homemade marmalade on a warm oatmeal biscuit. The oak creeps through as does the oloroso sherry sweetness.

Palate: Melted chocolate orange and oloroso sherry poured over steamed plum pudding. Sprinkles of cinnamon, ground nutmeg, white pepper doused with peppered strawberry coulis.

Finish: A long rich and lingering finish delivers at the end, a very memorable experience.
