Nestled in the Forgue Valley in the Eastern Highlands, The GlenDronach is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries. For almost 200 years, it has been crafting single malts of unparalleled quality, aged in sherry casks. The GlenDronach is an authentic Highland spirit: strong, powerful and brought to perfection by long maturation in sherry casks. To this day, The GlenDronach employs the traditional processes of its founder in 1826, James Allardice, and ages its whiskies in the finest Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks.
Nose: Aromas of allspice, praline and orange, in harmony with deep notes of Sherry Oloroso.
Mouth: Orange, black cherries, dried fruit and ginger. Bitter notes of dark chocolate, enriched by lingering Sherry and oak notes. Full-bodied and creamy.
Finish: robust and long, with bittersweet notes of exotic spices, dark chocolate and oak.
Nose: Sweet and rich, with fruity aromas suggesting baked apple, pear and peach. These are soon joined by a rich caramel note, reminiscent of sweet butterscotch. All these aromas are mellow, round and mouth-watering.
