Reviews for The GlenDronach 18 Year Old - Allardice
Most playful
It’s similar to how Cd tracks are ordered. Your first sip is relief it’s worth the money. It is complex but it’s familiarity keeps you listening to see what’s next. It doesn’t disappoint as you continue to explore the uniqueness that I’ve only seen in this dram.

Its wonderful wonderful wonderful . Lovely sweet oily goodness. To the chap who thinks its too expensive...In Cape Town its R1000 (50 quidish) than the also very good Glengoyne 18. I think the price is very fair

Pure delight
Sensational!
A must try if you like thick fruity heavy sherry notes.

My favourite whisky
Spent a lot of 2020 trying different whiskies, and Glendronach Allardice is the one I keep coming back to. While other whiskies have a time and a place (based on day, weather, locale etc), this Glendronach 18 y/o is one I can sup daily.
There's an autumnal/wintry cosiness to this whisky. I have anosmia (I can smell a little, but not a lot) and maybe that certainly affects the smell of whisky, and even taste. I need rich smell and taste. Full flavours. Something that makes my olfactory sense wake up. Whisky does it, and this Glendronach is a sweet, marzipan sherry dream on the nose, and a christmas cake in the mouth, and a warming, fireside finish. Sense of place is a major aspect of how I rate whisky. Full, is a good way to describe it. Fruity and sweet. It's an ideal dram (for me).
Even at +£100, I'll buy a new bottle once my current one is done (likely very soon).

Excellent single malt
My staff asked my daughter what I would like as a present for retirement. She says single malt 16 years or older. They got me a bottle of GlenDronach 18 yr. I have been mostly an Islay malt partaker for 25 years. But my first dram of your 18 yr old, WOW! Well done. Lagavulin 16 move over. Also love the color.
