1982 Vintage Whisky

Whisky in the context of global events

In 1982, the Falklands conflict took place, and the Commodore 64 computer was released.

In whisky, GlenDronach relaunched its core range, emphasizing its rich, sherry-cask-matured whiskies. These have aged beautifully and have proven to be good investment whiskies, particularly for those who appreciate a full-bodied dram. The industry also began to focus on transparency, with some distilleries offering tours that included detailed explanations of the distillation process. Consumer interest in the provenance of whisky ingredients started to rise, leading to an increase in single estate and farm-to-glass offerings. For collectors, whisky from 1982 offers a snapshot of a time of conflict and technological progress, captured in bottles that focus on transparency and quality.
