Description

The GlenDronach 18 Year Old Allardice is a masterful expression of Highland craftsmanship, named after the distillery's founder, James Allardice. This richly sherried single malt Scotch whisky is matured exclusively in a combination of the finest Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and of natural color, ensuring full-bodied richness and authenticity. Celebrated for its deep, rich character, it delivers a luxurious balance of fruit, spice, and oak, defining GlenDronach's sherry-aged legacy. This expression is part of GlenDronach's core range and is highly regarded in the whisky community.
