Description

In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice, along with a consortium of local farmers, founded the distillery and began producing his "Guid GlenDronach" single malt. Unfortunately Allardice's marketing strategy of offering free drams to Edinburgh's "ladies of night", coupled with a fire at the distillery in 1837, led to him declaring bankruptcy. This is a UK Exclusive single cask Glendronach 1990 Highland single malt whisky bottled at full cask strength in 2013 without colouring or chill filtration. This 23-year-old Glendronach 1990 came from Cask 1240, a Pedro Ximenez sherry puncheon that yielded a generous 647 bottles at its ideal natural cask strength of 50.8%.

Nose
Rich toffee and toasted almonds with stewed barley over a chocolate-raisin richness. Spicy sweet with plum and orange peel, polished oak, and hints of clove and cinnamon.
Palate
Huge dark raisins and stewed plums with a complex balance of herbs and spices. Espresso coffee and cocoa beans with sweet barley sugar. Full-bodied with a strong wine influence, luscious creaminess, and ripe fruits like strawberry, banana, and passionfruit.
Finish
Long, with rich sherry tannins, dusty old oak, lemongrass, and milk arrowroot biscuits. Oakier and nutty with emerging spices.
