The Glendronach Cask Strength 61% is a remarkable limited release from the esteemed Glendronach distillery in the Highlands region.

The palate reveals an extraordinarily smooth texture, offering a symphony of mocha, caramel macchiato, cherry chocolate cake, and layers of dried fruits such as dates, plums, and sultanas. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving an enduring impression of lingering coffee, cocoa, with subtle hints of liquorice and tobacco.
The deep gold color of this whisky is a testament to its rich sherry maturation, characterized by the finest Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. This expression encapsulates the quintessential GlenDronach profile with its robust and full-bodied character, making it a prized possession for collectors and whisky aficionados alike.
