Glendronach 1995 17 Year Old PX Puncheon
It seems to me that there are more and more independent bottlings each month, and in my world that’s no bad thing. It means more whisky, more variety, and more for collectors. That brings me to The...

GlenDronach – Vertical Tasting
There is nothing so lovely as finding a new distillery to bang on about or throw money at (delete as appropriate). I’ve been an Islay man through and through in the past. I love Bruichladdich, and I’ve...

GlenDronach 18 Year Old – Tawny Port Finish
GlenDronach! I like this distillery, having been converted to their ways at the start of this year. And there’s nothing so annoying as a new convert, someone who keeps banging on about their new...

GlenDronach 1994 Single Cask #3400 (Abbey Whisky Exclusive)
To date, I have sampled many Abbey Whisky releases. You know what? There’s not been a bad release among them. They’ve also all been really interesting – not just good, but something a little different....

GlenDronach 12 Year Old Sauternes Cask Finish
Another day, another GlenDronach. You might have guessed I liked this distillery. GlenDronach was founded in 1826. Pretty old, you might think – and you’d be right as it was only the second distillery...

GlenDronach Peated
GlenDronach is one of my top five distilleries as it produces consistently good whisky at very sensible prices. Also, I like that it is one of the few distilleries around that create sherry bombs,...

GlenDronach 20 Year Old PX Cask #444
This is a brief write-up, as I could have combined it with last week’s review of the GlenDronach Peated. Anyway, this sort of whisky is what GlenDronach is more famed for: absolute sherry monsters. One...

GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 5

GlenDronach 12 Year Old (AKA Yoda)
If you are one of two people on the planet who has not seen a Star Wars film, then this may well be lost on you. How would you even begin to say what a lightsabre is, why people carry them in a...

GlenDronach 12 Year Old Single Cask Port Puncheon
I keep thinking about single casks in general at the moment. Or rather, why many people prefer single cask whiskies quite often over single malt whisky, even if it’s from the same distillery. Single...

Two More GlenDronachs
It’s been a few months since the Brown-Forman Corporation snapped up GlenDronach distillery, along with BenRiach and Glenglassaugh, for £281 million. Their press material at the time said that “we look...

GlenDronach Hand-Filled Sherry Puncheon 2017 (Cask #1441)
During the Spirit of Speyside festival, my erstwhile colleagues and I decided to take a detour up to GlenDronach distillery. Long-term readers will note that GlenDronach is something of a favourite on...

GlenDronach 1993 24 Year Old Abbey Whisky 10th Anniversary
Given our recent articles on GlenAllachie, it only seems fair that we return to GlenDronach – or the mothership as Mark refers to it as. I just think of GlenDronach as the distillery I always seem to...

GlenDronach 1995 – 19 Year Old – PX Sherry Puncheon

GlenDronach Batch 16 – A Trio
It is safe to say that we’ve covered GlenDronach well on Malt, with over 20 reviews or tasting notes. We don’t tend to go crazy for many distilleries like that, although we’re racking up a fair number...

GlenDronach Cask Strength – Batch 7
I have commented, many moons ago, about the whisky drinker’s tendency to romanticise single cask bottlings. Jason, having had one too many Buckfasts, is also a lover of the single cask whisky, but I’m...

Glendronach Forgue – Aged 10 Years
I can’t do any preamble, and I won’t spend too long on this subject. I’m simply too annoyed with this label. Firstly, what is terroir? I’ll tell you. Terroir is the interaction of microclimate, soil,...

GlenDronach Revival – 15 Years Old (2018)
There’s nothing so much that saps the joy out of life like the word consistency. It’s a dreadful, Coca Cola-esque word. Blending whisky for consistency is the Middle-England, Daily Express-reading,...

GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 10 – Aged 27 Years
Well, we might as well finish the year with something a bit more statesmanlike. How about a 27 year old whisky from GlenDronach? And you know what, no grumpiness, no hitting people over the head with...

Glendronach Master Vintage 1993 – Aged 25 Years
