- Description
- GlenDronach's reputation for sherry maturation shines in this single cask 22-year-old, where the spirit spent its entire life in one sherry butt yielding 604 bottles at natural strength. Expect concentrated dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spice characteristic of mature sherry-aged Highland malt. The texture is rich and full, with a long finish layered in oak tannins and sweet fruit. A benchmark sherry-matured expression for those who value the distillery's traditional approach.
