A Sherry Cask Classic of Highland Depth and Elegance - The GlenDronach 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The GlenDronach 12 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a benchmark expression of richly sherried Highland character, crafted at one of Scotland’s most historic distilleries. Founded in 1826 and nestled in the valley of Forgue, The GlenDronach is renowned for producing a robust, full-bodied spirit perfectly suited to long maturation in fine sherry casks. This expression reflects generations of tradition, combining Highland distilling heritage with the influence of exceptional Spanish oak.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Deep amber with natural, burnished copper tones.
Nose: Rich aromas of dried fruits, raisin, and fig layered with vanilla, toffee, and warm spice.
Palate: Full-bodied and rounded with flavors of sweet sherry, caramel, dark fruit, chocolate, and gentle oak, balanced by subtle nuttiness.
Finish: Long, warming, and satisfying with lingering sweetness, soft spice, and refined sherry richness.
Craftsmanship
The GlenDronach 12 Year Old is first matured in American bourbon casks before finishing in a carefully balanced combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. This dual sherry influence delivers both lush, fruity sweetness and dry, nutty complexity. Bottled at 86 proof and presented in natural color, the whisky showcases the distillery’s mastery of sherry cask maturation and its commitment to traditional methods.
