Glendronach 8 Year Old 

AA GDH

£26.67 ex. VAT

The Hielan’, Highland in the local Doric dialect, is an exceptional 8 years old single malt.

In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice founded the distillery and produced his ‘Guid GlenDronach’ single malt. Down the years, the distillery he created has thrived under the stewardship of far-sighted investors like Walter Scott in 1847 and Captain Charles Grant in 1920.

Tasting notes:

Nose: rounded waves of orange blossom and a citrus twist flow over buttery, golden sultanas, sundried raisins and ripe yellow plums; all dusted with a touch of vanilla.

Palate: crisp, vibrant oak spices warm soaked sultanas, apricot jam and gingerbread; all rounded by delicate hints of butterscotch, cocoa and toasted almonds.

Finish: classic sherry overtones with a contrasting crisp dimension demonstrates the complexity of the traditional Highland character.
