The GlenDronach Allardice 18 Year Old Single Malt is a must-try for any whisky connoisseur. With its exclusive, sherry matured style and 18 years of maturation, it offers a superior taste and value compared to other brands such as The Macallan.
Tasting Notes
The GlenDronach Allardice 18 Year Old is a bright deep gold colour with a tawny centre. Sweet, delightful, and complex, it boasts flavours of fudge, fruit compote, glacier morello cherries, and all-spice. Aged Oloroso and toasted walnut bread are evident, as well as a touch of chocolate orange. The exquisite complexity and remarkably long finish make this a must-try for any whisky lover.
Older Bottling
This collectable scotch whisky is an older bottling of the 18 Year Old Allardice with Natural Colours & Non-Chill Filtered.
James Allardice established GlenDronach Distillery in 1826, it has since passed through the stewardship of Scotland's most eminent Whisky producers, Walter Scott, Charles Grant and William Teacher & Sons.
History also has its part to play into the intrigue of Glendronach, which was mothballed from 1996 until 2001. It is said that it was over this period where the distillery lost some of its identity, with floor maltings decommissioned in 1996 and conversion to steam power in 2005 from the direct heat, coal-fired stills which has been known to produce or more flavourful, robust spirit. A decision of efficiency that many a Scottish distillery would succumb to, with Glendronach being one of the last to have maintained this method. Needless to say, expressions distilled pre-1997 are extremely desirable.
This 18-year-old expression has been matured exclusively in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks. A relative bargain for this quality, style and maturity. Distillery notes.
