GlenDronach
Scotland
Single Malt
The GlenDronach 18 year old Allardice is named after the distillery’s founder, James Allardice. The Highlander was matured completely in Oloroso sherry casks, and was originally released in 2009 following the distillery changing hands back in 2008. An exceptional fruity sherried single malt.
Please note: We're afraid we can't guarantee which vintage you will receive. It'll still be yummy GlenDronach no matter the vintage, mind!
Sherry notes so thick you need a knife to cut them! There's a hint of old rum in there too, with pineapple and brown sugar in tow.
Christmas cake, rum again, chocolate-coated hazelnut, runny honey and a hint of Sauternes.
Fresh blackcurrant, blueberry pancakes with a generous helping of maple syrup.
I really love this whisky, its a wonderful sherried dram. But I have to agree with the previous poster - every year the price creeps up about £10. Only last year I bought the 21 yo Parliament for less than this one at its current price. Its a great whisky, but no longer worth the price. It is with great regret that I won't be buying another bottle. There are other whiskies out there significantly cheaper and almost as good quality.
this is one of my top 3 malts, but with the unfeasible price rises seemingly every few months, i won't be buying any more soon as i dont like to feel im being ripped off. The day is coming when the malt whisky price hike bubble bursts, and post covid it may be here sooner than you think, so yes, this is a superb dram, but for the price they are asking i can get 2 bottles of superb drams for the same money.
Maybe I don't get the subtly of some of whisky but my god you cannot fail to taste the rum and the sherry in this. When trying some samplers I wanted to be wowed. Many in the box, of my own selection, were just decent - this made me take notice. This was the sort of whisky I was hoping to discover in a sampler set. Beautiful dark colouring, oily/syrup finish and a decent amount of marzipan, raisins, sherry and a bit of rum too. Taste lingers too. Very enjoyable. Immediately on my wishlist.
I have 3 bottles of the 2017 filling. Just got the last two a month ago. I also bought a bottle of the Parliment with the first order and found out quickly that I much prefer the Allardice to it. On the palate is orange, honey, walnuts, dark chocolate, dark berries, and for me, lots of maple syrup at the end, unmistakable. It had a great slightly oily finish, some of those dark berries again, orange/chocolate, and as the review said pancakes with gone of maple syrup. Every time I sit and dip it something new trades my senses, but these notes are there every time. I truly enjoy this one.
Wow, this stuff is so good. Brilliant and and well finished dram. Heavy sherry, brown sugar and blackcurrants I'm getting. Defo buying a bottle next
