This is a flagship whisky from Glendronach with powerful sherry notes distinguishing it.

Glendronach 12 is made at the Glendronach Distillery in the Highland region of Scotland - it is located in the village of Forgue in Aberdeenshire. The master blender is Rachel Barrie, who is a scientist by profession and who grew up near the distillery. She is a Keeper of the Quaich and received an honorary doctorate for her contribution to the Scottish whisky industry.

Glendronach is owned by Brown Forman, the US drinks conglomerate that also owns BenRiach and Glenglassaugh distilleries. Brown Forman is a global drinks leader with US brands such as Jack Daniels, Woodford Reserve and Finlandia brands in its drinks stable.

Glendronach 12 is a hugely popular whisky. All the Glendronach core bottles sell extremely well but the Glendronach 12-year-old style has a legion of fans. It is smooth and easily drinkable and benefits from its excellent sherry cask aging.

Glendronach 12 is an old-style sherried whisky that is favourably compared to older expressions in the range. It has a good weight and a complex dry finish that comes from its sherry cask maturation.

According to its tasting notes, you can expect to find flavours such as raisins, cinnamon, oak, malt and sweet soft fruits. It is a heavily sherried dram that carries its dried fruit flavour and caramel toffee elements beautifully. This is a warm and spicy malt that offers dense textures and a wonderful nose.

The aroma of Glendronach 12 is rightly famous. According to fans, it smells of cinnamon buns, dried fruit flavours and fine wines. Dried citrus peel is also a feature and all of this comes from the fresh Pedro Ximenez and oloroso sherry barrels. Glendronach malts relies heavily on these cask types.

Bottled at 43%, Glendronach 12 represents the signature style of the distillery and is the cornerstone of the flavour direction of every bottle that follows it in the range.

Most Glendronach malts are made using oloroso sherry casks and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. And so it is with the 12-year-old. This rich and complex whisky has lots of sherry influence with the aroma and taste of roasted nuts, rich oak and sherry sweetness running throughout the bottle.

Glendronach 12 is a hugely sherried whisky. It is made using two sherry types - Pedro Ximenez and oloroso sherry casks. These impart lots of Christmas cake and sweet marmalade characteristics, as well as a wonderful buttery mouth feel that is perfect for after dinner sipping.

The Glendronach range has a historical import for its use of sherry and is considered to be one of the foremost sherried whisky makers in the world.

Glendronach is an excellent example of single malt from the Highlands. Its palate is favourably compared to Macallan malts and its combination of PX and Oloroso sherry barrels has created a wonderful single malt of this vintage. It is one of the best examples of a sherry cask ageing single malt release.

Glendronach 12 has won many awards at international competitions. These include Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the International Wine & Spirit Competition and many others.
