GlenDronach 22 years 1991 - 2014 Single Cask #1346

Since 2007, The GlenDronach has presented a series under the name: Single Cask whiskies. Batch 10 was launched in July 2014 and this 22-year-old Single Cask Whisky was the second oldest release from this batch.

True to their tradition, The GlenDronach primarily uses carefully selected sherry casks hand-crafted at renowned sherry bodegas from southern Spain (Jerez de la Frontera and Sanlúcar de Barrameda) 

Origin and bottling

Distilled on 22 November of the year 1991 and finally bottled in June 2014 after a maturation of over 22 years. This Single Cask Whisky is the perfect example of craftsmanship from this renowned Highlands distillery. After very careful selection, cask 1436 was selected and finally bottled at cask strength without colouring and filtering. This has resulted in 701 bottles.

Cask type

This single cask whisky has spent over two decades on a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon. This cask has allowed this GlenDronach to gain unparalleled depth and enormous complexity.

Glendronach Ditillery

Glendronach Distillery is located in the valley of Forgue, near Huntly in Aberdeenshire, in the Scottish Highlands. Founded in 1826 by James Allardice, Glendronach is one of the oldest legal distilleries in Scotland and is known for its rich tradition and craftsmanship.

A specific feature of Glendronach is its strong focus on maturing whisky in ex-sherry casks. This gives the whiskies their distinctive deep, complex and fruity flavour profiles, with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, honey and spices. The distillery uses water from the Dronac Burn, which contributes to its unique flavour.

Glendronach uses traditional copper pot stills and a slow distillation process, ensuring a rich and full-bodied spirit. Glendronach's whiskies are known for their elegance and depth, with a long, warming finish.

Glendronach Distillery remains a highly respected name among whisky lovers for its dedication to quality and tradition and its production of exceptionally balanced Highland single malts.
