Description
Established in 1826 by James Allardice the Glendronach distillery was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland.
The GlenDronach is borne of the landscape and natural ingredients that surround, from the soft Highland water drawn from the underwater springs in the Balnoon hills to the Scottish malted barley sourced from our trusted partners.
The hallmark of the distillery is the marriage of robust Highland spirit with the finest Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucia in Spain.
This exquisite duality brings exceptional depth, complexity, and character to their whiskies.
The GlenDronach sherry casks laid down in 1993 have long been acknowledged as an excellent vintage from The GlenDronach, receiving high praise from malt connoisseurs.
This in inspired the creation of The GlenDronach 1993 Master Vintage, to showcase and celebrate this exceptional year.
The GlenDronach Master Blender, Dr Rachel Barrie, has hand-selected Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks exclusively from 1993, to create a marriage of exceptional richness and complexity, in this twenty-five-year-old expression of The GlenDronach Highland Single Malt Whisky.
The GlenDronach Master Vintage 1993 Aged 25 Years is bottled at 48.2% ABV, and as is the case for all The GlenDronach expressions, is non-chill filtered and absorbs colour naturally over time from the Spanish oak in which it resides.
Mahogany in colour with a golden walnut hue.
The nose is rich brandy-laced fruitcake and marzipan on a base of smoked walnut and toasted sultana bread.
On the palate there is cocoa-dusted coffee and sultana brioche enlivened by a twist of baked orange rind and the juiciness of prune oil.
Savour the long velvet taste of rich cocoa and dates as pecan toffee lingers into the sumptuous finish.
