- Description
- GlenDronach's Forgue was the distillery's first travel retail exclusive, a 10-year-old single malt aged in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from inception. The dual sherry influence creates richness and depth unusual for the age, with layers of dried fruit, hazelnut, and toffee wrapped around the nutty malt base. The finish is warm and persistent, with lingering sweetness and oak spice. A sophisticated introduction to sherried Highland whisky, equally rewarding for curious newcomers and experienced enthusiasts.
