GlenDronach 12 Years Old Original Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 43%           Age: 12 Years Old          Country: Scotland

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. You can expect a spicy, smoky malt with lots of rich full bodied flavours and very smooth.

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.
