The GlenDronach distillery, located in Forgue near Huntly, Scotland, was established in 1826 and is known for its traditional methods and long-standing sherry cask maturation. The distillery's commitment to using carefully selected sherry casks from renowned sherry bodegas in southern Spain results in whiskies with remarkable depth and complexity.
This particular single cask whisky offers an extraordinary combination of flavors, including huge dark raisins, stewed plums, and a complex balance of herbs and spices. The palate reveals espresso coffee, cocoa beans, and hints of sweet barley sugar, further enhancing the whisky's rich and indulgent character.
As one of the most prominent and important distilleries in Scotland's Highlands, The GlenDronach has a rich history dating back to the 1920s. The distillery gained wider recognition in the 1960s when it became a key malt for Teacher's and experienced a revival under the leadership of Billy Walker's Benriach Distillery Co. after a period of neglect in the 1990s. This whisky is a testament to The GlenDronach's commitment to producing high-quality, sherry-matured whiskies that showcase the distillery's unique character and heritage.
