This bottling of a 15-year-old Glendronach matured entirely in an ex-sherry cask. The bottling replaced the 12-year-old 100% Sherry Cask in 1991 and was produced until the distillery closed in 1996.
The distillery was founded in 1826 by James Allardice. The work here is still very traditional: the barley is sourced from surrounding farms, the fermentation process still takes place in wash backs made of Douglas fir wood. The storage takes place in sherry and American oak barrels. The distillery has changed hands several times, among others it belonged to Charles Grant, a son of William Grant (Glenfiddich), from 1920-1960, and was even closed between 1996 and 2002.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
