This is a 12 year old Scotch Whisky. The finest and most characterful richly-sherried Single Malt Scotch Whisky since 1826.
This is a very heavy sherried malt which was matured for 12 years in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks.
A dense, heavily-sherried dram from a distillery now producing again after a six-year layoff. A malt best suited to after-dinner sipping.
Traditional wooden washbacks, a copper mash tun and distinctive saxophone-shaped stills help to create The GlenDronach’s elegant, complex character with tremendous depth of taste.
An award-winning whisky: Ranked #21 in Drinks International's "World's Most Admired Whiskies 2021"; Gold San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021; Gold International Wine & Spirits Competition 2021.
Best enjoyed neat.
Nose: Sweet, creamy vanilla, with hints of ginger. Spiced mulled wine and pear.
Palate: Rich, creamy, silky-smooth. Warm, rich oak and sherry sweetness, full mouth feel, raisins and soft fruits.
Finish: Spicy with medium length and a dry finish.
