Read More About the Brand Story
The Glendronach Distillery is located in the Valley of Forgue in the Eastern Scottish Highlands, founded by James Allardice in 1826. For nearly two centuries, the distillery has adhered to traditional production methods, making it one of the very few 'Sherry Experts' still highly regarded by Sherry cask enthusiasts today. The distillery historically used direct-fired stills, a process that, while costly and challenging to control, imparted a heavier and more robust body structure to the new make spirit.
The soul of Glendronach lies in its commitment to Spanish Sherry casks. The Pedro Ximénez (PX) casks used impart a deep color and syrupy sweet dried fruit flavors, while the Oloroso casks infuse nutty notes, tannins, and warm spice layers. This 12 Years Old expression perfectly balances these two characteristics. Glendronach's rise in the whisky world is closely linked to the arrival of legendary Master Blender Billy Walker, who redefined the distillery's core style, allowing it to shine again in the modern market. Even today, despite the distillery's expansion, it retains that characteristic Highland oiliness and rich nutty aroma, becoming synonymous with high-quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
