The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1826 by James Allardice, The GlenDronach was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland. Allardice was a pioneer of sherry cask aging, and today the distillery continues his legacy of crafting highly sherried single malts under the guidance of expert master blenders.

How it is made

The GlenDronach Distillery is nestled in the Valley of Forgue, deep in the East Highlands, where it has perfected sherry cask maturation since its founding. Each expression is crafted using time-honored methods, drawing water from the nearby Dronac Burn to create a robust and full-bodied spirit.
