Whisky Glendronach 12 years Sherry Cask

Whisky Glendronach 12 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky produced at the distillery of the same name, which was founded in 1826 by a group of local farmers led by James Allardice. Under his charismatic leadership, the distillery quickly gained a solid reputation (selling in London shortly after its foundation) but tragedy struck in 1837 when a fire destroyed the distillery.

Glendronach is now owned by The BenRiach Distillery Company and delves into Allardice's tradition to offer you an authentic "single malt" that can only be made through a very specific process: only with malted barley and distilled in copper stills at a single distillery, it cannot be blended or mixed with whisky from other distilleries and must also be aged in oak barrels.

The Glendronach 12 years 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 casks provide the spirit with a rich diversity of nuances. Did you know that this is a "non chillfiltered" whisky? Thanks to this, you will be able to appreciate the full power of its aroma, as it is not cold filtered, an operation that used to be done to obtain a clearer product without impurities, but experts believe that consistency is lost with it. This is an authentic whisky in flavor and color, as no caramel is added.

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