Glendronach Allardice 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

Founded in 1826 by James Allardice Glen Dronach was one of the very first licensed distilleries. Allardice was a colorful character and stories abound as to how he promoted his whisky with entreorencurial flair. He was also a pioneer of wood finishing and would have celebrated today's superb GlenDornach. Matured in the finest Oloroso sherry casks - the GlenDronach is a perfectly balanced, smooth, creamy, full-bodied single malt Scotch whiskey. Tasting Notes Appearance: Bright deep gold with a tawny centre. Nose: Lovely and sweet. Fudge, fruit compote and glacier morello cherries. Fabulous complexity. Palate: Remarkable flavours of stewed fruits and all-spice. Aged Oloroso and toasted walnut bread combined with chocolate orange. Finish: Tremendously complex and long. The GlenDroanch distillery in the Forgue valley in Aberdeenshire is named after the source of its water; The Dronac burn. It has a history of enterprising owners from the flamboyant James Allardice to the ambitions Walter Scott. Although times have moved on, the processes used to create the GlenDronach have remained largely unchanged. Today's malt is created using great Oregon pine washbacks and the same shaped stills used in 1826.
