Try the
GlenDronach taste avalanche this summer!
An Avalanche of raisins and spices
awaits visitors to GlenDronach this
summer!
For the award-winning Aberdeenshire
distillery has just bottled its latest
Distillery Exclusive which once again
promises to leave an indelible
impression on the taste buds.
Distilled on the 24th of September 1993,
and matured in an Oloroso sherry butt,
cask number 1607 was bottled this June
as an 18 year-old, at cask strength
(56.1% vol). The whisky is rich ruby
mahogany in appearance. On the nose,
there’s the aforementioned avalanche of
raisins and spices supplemented with
cedar wood notes, while on the palate it
offers the taste of fruit cake and sweet
spices laced with figs, raisins and
lashings of currants.
This exclusive GlenDronach expression is
now available, but only to visitors to
the distillery shop. It retails at
£74.99, and with the cask generating
just over 600 bottles, it is very much a
limited release.
Also new at GlenDronach this summer is
the latest outstanding Distillery
Manager’s cask. Personally selected by
Alan McConnochie, GlenDronach 1993 cask
number 1616 is a classic, richly-sherried 18
year-old single malt redolent of all the
wonderful things you associate with
GlenDronach – raisins, chocolate, spices
and dates. Visitors can hand-fill their
own bottle at the distillery with a
personalised label and take home a
little bit of heaven.
The GlenDronach Visitor Centre is open
seven days a week in the summer from
10.00am to 4.30pm. It offers regular
guided tours (The ‘Discovery Tour’)
throughout the day – at 10am, 11am, 1pm,
2pm and 3pm.
The distillery also offers the
‘Connoisseur’s Tour’ – a more
comprehensive, in-depth experience –
which can be arranged by appointment
only.
