New and Exclusive: GlenDronach 1993 #8635

Bottled exclusively for The Whisky Shop, this exciting ’90s single cask was distilled way back when Gabrielle’s ‘Dreams’ was #1 in the charts! Aged for 26 years in a Pedro Ximénez puncheon, you’ll discover striking aromas of plum, fruit cake and mandarin with a decadent palate of maraschino cherry, figs, dark chocolate and maple syrup – a truly special dram!

We are delighted to release this single cask GlenDronach that has been bottled exclusively for us at The Whisky Shop. This one-off release has been aged for 26 years in a Pedro Ximénez puncheon – a large cask of around 500 litres, a similar size to a sherry butt but with a wider shape. This is a rich and bold sherry that has intense, sweet dried fruit, raisin and fig notes. This release is limited to 682 bottles at a strength of 54.9% abv.

The nose opens with striking notes of plum, rich fruit cake and hints of mandarin moving into a decadent palate of maraschino cherry, figs, dark chocolate and a hint of maple syrup. There is further sweetness on the finish which intertwines with some delicate exotic spices.

Glendronach sits on the Dronach Burn in Deveron, north of Inverurie and was founded in 1826 by James Allardyce. Within a decade the distillery was destroyed by a fire, but was soon rebuilt thanks to the involvement of some key whisky industry figures including Walter Scott and ‘Captain’ Charles Grant. The distillery was sold to William Teacher & Sons (who later became Allied Distillers) in 1976.
