Appearance : Dark amber with a ruby heart.
Nose : Wild strawberries dusted with cinnamon sugar, filled with sweet wood smoke. A warming hint of black pepper and a sprig of mint appear in the back note.
Palate : Crisp, tart cranberry juice, flooded with waves of Highland smoke, sweetens to red berry compote, with rich, stewed barley and lingering, smouldering charcoal.
Hidden in the east Highland hills, The GlenDronach Distillery has been quietly perfecting sherry wood maturation since 1826 when our founder, James Allardic, discovered the rich depths of sherry wood maturation, marrying Scottish spirit to Spanish cask. Little has changed over the centuries as our craftsmen use the same iron mash tun, wooden washback’s and saxophone copper pot stills as their forefathers did. Within the range of Spanish oak sherry casks available, The GlenDronach focuses on the marriage of fruity and nutty Oloroso Sherry casks and intensely, rich Pedro Ximénez casks. Alongside the flavour, Oloroso casks give The GlenDronach its signature depth in colour while Pedro Ximénez casks provide the signature richness and depth in flavour.
