- Description
- GlenDronach's signature approach to sherried single malt is on full display in this 12-year-old, matured in a combination of Spanish oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks. Dried fruit, cakey spice, and warming vanilla dominate the palate, with the Pedro Ximénez adding rich molasses undertones. The texture is silky and rounded, with a sweet, lingering finish that speaks to the distillery's commitment to quality sherry cask influence. This is an ideal introduction to sherried Highland malt.
