Our founder, James Allardice, built his distillery in the fertile landscape of the Forgue valley and named it ‘GlenDronach’, which means ‘valley of the brambles’ in Scots Gaelic. Here, he discovered the rich depths of sherry wood maturation, marrying Scottish spirit to Spanish cask. Little has changed over the centuries, our craftsmen use the same iron mash tun, wooden washbacks and saxophone-shaped copper pot stills to distill a robust, complex and balanced spirit. 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; in combination, these intensify The GlenDronach signature depth in colour, full-bodied taste and richly satisfying finish. Our well-kept secrets have been guarded for nearly 200 years by a parliament of rooks, a small group of black birds that try to nest in the warehouses. The distillery folk believe that as long as the rooks remain at the distillery, it will be good for the whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"},{"id":9488236572,"handle":"rare-and-old-whisky","updated_at":"2024-11-02T04:55:04-04:00","published_at":"2017-10-15T00:37:54-04:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"global","title":"Rare and Old Whisky","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/rare_and_old_medium.JPG?v=1508042322\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\" property=\"stylesheet\" rel=\"stylesheet\"\u003e\u003c!--\n.ms-loading-container .ms-loading, .ms-slide .ms-slide-loading { background-image: none !important;

The Whisky List is pleased to bring to you a 1993 Oloroso Sherry GlenDronach single cask bottled entirely for Australia. Cask #392 was distilled on February 12th 1993 and bottled at 51.0% earlier this year, making it the first 26 year old 1993 GlenDronach bottling to make it into the wild. The cask was selected by our local tasting panel from several samples specially selected for us by Rachel Barrie (Master Blender for The GlenDronach, The BenRiach and Glenglassaugh distillers) based on a brief of finding the best sherried whisky from the 1993 vintage, a vintage much loved and obsessed over by GlenDronach fans (for good reason as it turns out).
