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.
Nose: nice and smoky, toffee Palate: Very rich and smooth. A nice smoke, but not too much and it doesn't last too long. Probably the best in.my tasting set.
Im on the last drops on my first bottle and im ordering another one. This is an absolutely wonderful whiskey on the sweeter side.
FULL of deep, rich deliciousness. Better than various other much bigger-name whiskies out there. Sublime whisky from a great distillery.
You shouldn't drink this. Really, you won't like. Best if you find some other stuff to drink, like a no age statement Macallan. Go on, take my advice. That way all the Allardice in the world will be left over for me to drink. I have over 80 whiskies in my "cabinet" but lately, somehow I never seem to get round to any of the others. Every time I reach for that Sringbank 15 bottle, or that 23 years old Incmurrin or my old favourite Glenlivet Nàdurra Triumph, something makes my arm swing to the other shelf and before I know it, I'm smiling as another little sunburst of sherried maltiness sends waves of pleasure washing over my taste buds. Don't buy, really, please.
Very good
