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.

Really wanted to love this one, with the excellent reviews and glowing recommendations! However, there are a few sub par reviews, all suggesting sickly-sweet cherryness. I feel I have ended up with either a poor batch, or bad bottling. Was expecting heavily sherried notes and massive complexity, but only managed incredible sweetness, and an abrupt sour spice, with next to no finish. Also quickly anestesised the toungue. Tried opening it out with a few drops, slight improvement. At this price point I won’t something to blow me away, this- sadly didn’t. Enjoyable on a ‘May aswell’ basis, but found (earlier) Aberlour Abunadh batches to be more complex and morish. Honestly hope I had a poor batch, but for this price will I come back for more?
I love it, and the 21 yo, I think, is more better
Did not really know what I would get, this was one of 5 different whiskies I had on my wish list based on lots of reading. I was blown away. The best way to describe the experience: like an old XO Cognac. Rich and Tasty. Perfect for after dinner. This is really good stuff !! Evis H.
This is one of my favourites. Yes - sherried indeed. Yes - sweet. Love the spice and the long finish.
This whiskey for me just has everything. Maybe I got lucky with this bottle but will be buying more to check. Was bought by my son as a Xmas present and for me it is exceptional. Not a fan of the overly smoky whiskies but this just has a perfect balance of depth, sweetness and flavour.
