The GlenDronach 12 Year Old

The GlenDronach 12 Year Old "Original" is a benchmark for richly sherried Highland single malts, renowned for its traditional maturation in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. This signature "Sherry Cask Highland Single Malt" presents a deep, sparkling amber hue with red gold highlights. The bouquet is sweet and creamy, featuring autumn fruits, chocolate praline, and ginger, accented by hints of spiced mulled wine and vanilla. On the palate, the wine—or rather, the whisky—is silken and buttery, showcasing a full-bodied mouthfeel with flavors of sun-dried raisins, caramelized bramble, and soft fruits balanced by oaky tannins. It concludes with a long, firm, and slightly nutty finish with lingering notes of toffee and warming spice. Bottled at its natural colour, this expression is a staple for those seeking the "sherry bomb" style in an accessible entry-level bottling.
