- Description
- This 1980s bottling by Italian importer Previ stands apart from Glendronach's typical heavy sherry profile, instead matured in bourbon casks to emphasise tropical fruit and salted butter notes with caramel and subtle herbal complexity. The sherry influence retreats to background depth rather than dominating the palate. A restrained yet characterful expression that shows the range of the distillery's house style. Ideal for those seeking fruit-forward Highland whisky without cask heaviness.
