GlenDronach Allardice 18 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed February 19, 2017 (edited December 10, 2017)Tried at Shebeen's with John. Feb 18, 2017. 2nd in a flight of 4. About the most smoke we currently can enjoy, which is very little because it wasn't even in the description. Our 3rd favourite of the flight $17/dram in house Founded in 1826 the GlenDronach distillery is one of the oldest registered distilleries in Scotland. This offering paying homage to the founder James Allerdice has been 100% matured in Spanish Olorosso Sherry casks. This also celebrates the distillery’s tradition of Olorosso Sherry maturation - though more and more since 2002 - Bourbon casks are starting to be used more often at the distillery -

It’s the northern coastal location that gives this whiskey it’s slight saltiness and brightness. The 17 year is made up from over 90% refill Bourbon casks providing for the predominant flavours of honey and vanilla to balance with the coastal elements from Scotland most northern mainland distillery
