- Description
- This 1980s bottling of GlenDronach's Original 12 Year Old represents the distillery's house style from an earlier era, when bottling practices and cask selection differed from modern releases. At 40% abv and matured in sherry casks, it offers a glimpse into how GlenDronach expressed itself decades ago. The age and provenance make this a historical reference point rather than a contemporary benchmark. A collector's piece for those tracing the distillery's evolution.
