Deep in the heart of Speyside, GlenDronach stands as an enduring emblem of Scotch whisky tradition. Known for its richly sherried character, GlenDronach Single Malt Scotch Whisky carries a legacy of time-honored craftsmanship. Matured in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, each dram bursts with notes of dark fruits, chocolate, and warming spices. The deep amber hue and rich, full-bodied flavor profile of GlenDronach is a testament to its mastery of wood and spirit, offering whisky enthusiasts a journey through layers of history and flavor.
The GlenDronach Port Wood, a non-age statement expression, draws inspiration from the historical import of casked port into Scotland during the 19th century. In those days, port was highly prized, and the finest port pipes made their way from Portugal to Scotland. Selecting some of the finest port pipes from Portugal's Douro Valley, The GlenDronach embarks on a three-year maturation process. The Master Blender adeptly blends whisky from these port pipes, resulting in a ten year old expression characterised by abundant fruitiness, featuring ripe berries and a hallmark long, lingering finish.
