THE GLENDRONACH EST. 1826

200 years of SHERRY CASK EXCELLENCE

WIN A DISTILLERY TRIP FOR TWO

Two centuries OF HIGHLAND HISTORY.

The Glendronach turns 200 this year, and it has spent almost all of that time doing one thing exceptionally well: filling Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and leaving them alone until they're ready.


To mark it, we're sending one of you and a guest to Aberdeenshire to see where it happens. Buy any of the Glendronach bottles listed below and you're in the draw. Some bottles are worth more entries than others.


One winner + guest. Two nights in at the home of The Glendronach.


Open to UK residents (18+) only. T&Cs apply. Entries close 23:59:59 on Monday 7 September 2026.

Lavish times past and present

James Allardice founded The Glendronach in 1826 and set about convincing Aberdeenshire's gentry that Highland whisky deserved their attention, largely by inviting them round and pouring some. By every account passed down, he was very good at it.


Two hundred years on, not much has changed about the whisky. Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, hand-selected, and that unmistakable richly-sherried character: dried fruit, treacle, oiled leather, a finish that doesn't hurry.
