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.
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
A phenomenal whisky and, for me, one of the best I have ever had, even eclipsing the parliament which is wonderful in its own right. The nose is rich and complex, and you know from that first waft that you're going to be drinking something wonderful. The palate is exceptional, a true Sherry bomb with all sorts of fruity, Sherry influences as well as a few other subtle surprises. The finish...the finish...is sublime. It's goes on and on and on. Mouth feel is oily, rich, and luxurious. In my opinion a faultless whisky that will please anyone who enjoys a whisky with any sort of Sherry influence. You should try it at least once if you can.
It's back again, but at a new higher price !?
Is this juice discontinued from being released on the market or will it be back soon?
From the bottle- rum raisin aroma! Nose- rum, slight grassy notes. Flavors explode on the palate- Raisin, sherry cask, a velvety mouthfeel (much oiliness), really well-balanced flavors. A long, malty, plummy, sherry cask finish. After a few drops of water- cereal & sherry on nose, heavy sherry on palate. Sweetens up with the water.
