From its hillside home in the Scottish Highlands, The GlenDronach Distillery has been creating the finest richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years. From the germination of the barley to the flow of the purest middle cuts of distilled spirit, every step in the GlenDronach journey to the vat and onwards is taken with meticulous care and immaculate timing. The GlenDronach malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and Oregon pine wash-backs form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Their 4 elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the finest, richest spirit. What follows is the final secret of GlenDronach’s exceptional character. As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that GlenDronach is famous for.

The GlenDronach 12 Year Old has recently been relaunched with a new bottle design and label. While the whisky itself remains the same, the change was primarily cosmetic.Why the change? The new packaging is part of a broader refresh across the GlenDronach range. It aims to modernise the brand’s image while still reflecting its rich history and heritage. The bottles now have a more contemporary look, with cleaner lines and a bolder font. The labels have also been updated with more detailed information about the whisky.

Importantly, the whisky inside the bottle remains the same. It’s still the same classic GlenDronach 12 Year Old, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 43% Alc/vol.

The new GlenDronach 12 Year Old is essentially the same whisky in a new package. So, if you enjoyed the original, you’ll likely enjoy the new one as well. It’s still a great entry point into the world of sherried whiskies, offering a delicious and complex flavour profile.

This superb richly sherried single malt is matured for at least 12 years in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. Of natural colour and bottled at 43%, the GlenDronach 12 year old Original is a sweet, creamy dram.
