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 recently got this in my Xmas advent calendar. I was very excited to drink it because of the reviews below and how much I enjoyed the Laphraiog PX cask recently. I have to say I was very disappointed. Yes it could get the similarities to sherry but I dont think it offered much else. I tried the PX cask straight after and it blew it out of the water for me. A bad sample? not sure but considering the Glendronach 21 was top of my wish list I am now having serious doubts. Others I have had in the calendar, Glenfiddich 15yr solera and Jura elixir were better for a lower price for me. Mike W
I've had two bottles both purchased in Scotland. The first was as described by the 5star ratings, as an occasional whiskey drinker the only whiskey i've tried that is better was a Springbank 21 about 20 years ago. Praise indeed. However the second bottle was a huge disappointment, it still had the long finish but everything else was wrong. Just tasted like caramel in spirit. So this fits with the sub par comments. So maybe a bad batch out there, curiously the first shop offered me a taster before choosing. Still the good news is that if you've been disappointed there's a good chance the next bottle will impress. Could be worth a taste first.
Excellent...I was introduced to the 15 in Edinburgh and was very disappointed to be informed it was no longer to be offered. Then, by chance, I came across this in my searching. A superior whisky and a must have to my bar bar!
Absolutely stunning. Dark fruits and an explosion of sherry and chocolate. What a master piece
What a surprise. This replaces yamazaki 18 with nothing lost on quality and less then half the price. Please, don't buy this.
