Glendronach Whiskey 12 years Sherry Cask

Glendronach 12 Year Old Whiskey is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey made in the distillery of the same name, which was founded in 1826 by an association of local farmers headed by James Allardice. Under his charismatic leadership, a solid reputation was built (it was sold in London shortly after its founding) but tragedy struck in 1837 when a fire destroyed the distillery.

Glendronach is now owned by The BenRiach Distillery Company and delves into the Allardice tradition to bring you an authentic single malt that can only be made using a very specific procedure: using only malted barley and distilled in copper stills at a single distillery, It cannot be combined or mixed with whiskey from other wineries and, in addition, it must be aged in oak barrels.

The Glendronach 12 year old single malt is characterized by being aged in fine bourbon and sherry barrels such as the famous Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso barrels from Andalusia. Both rooms provide the distillate with a rich diversity of nuances. Did you know that this is a "non chillfiltered" whiskey? Thanks to this you will be able to appreciate all the power of its aroma, since it is not cold filtered, an operation used to be done to obtain a clearer product without impurities, but experts believe that this loses consistency. This is an authentic whiskey in flavor and color, since caramel is not added either.

From the germination of the barley to the bottling of the whiskey is done with meticulous care. Elegant copper stills distill the whiskey and it is then filled into the finest casks. The Glendronach 12 Years is specially matured in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso barrels from Andalusia (Spain), which gives it almost 70% of its flavor. Finally, it is bottled at 43% and no artificial colors are added. Glendronach 12 Years is the result of the unwavering dedication to their craft by the entire distillery team.
