Glendronach
Glendronach was founded in 1826 by James Allardice (also spelt Allardyce and Allardes), and almost completely destroyed by fire a decade later. After the rebuild, Allardice - a colourful character - is rumoured to have accidentally ensured the popularity of his whisky in Edinburgh in the 1840s by gifting a quantity of it to some local ladies after a failed sales trip to the city.
GlenDronach Cask Strength
Matured in a combination of the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. Bottled at 54.7%, non chill filtered and of natural colour.
Color | Dark rich amber with a glint of burnished copper. |
Nose | Delicious molten toffee and wild honey poured over ripe figs and dates. Subtle hints of tangerine, coffee grounds and a dusting of cinnamon add a perfect balance to the nose. |
Palate | Vibrant oak spices and warming stem ginger complement the rich sherry and dark fruit characteristics. Waves of sour plums and subtle gingerbread combine with stewed barley and roasted coffee beans, softened by a gentle hint of walnut. |
Finish | A perfect harmony of the finest sherry casks and traditional Highland characteristics. |
