    The GlenDronach 18 Year Old - Allardice

    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!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    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.

    Palate

    Christmas cake, rum again, chocolate-coated hazelnut, runny honey and a hint of Sauternes.

    Finish

    Fresh blackcurrant, blueberry pancakes with a generous helping of maple syrup.

    Very good, but not 'superb'

    Delicious, moreish stuff. Can't say I agree with the berries in the fanciful tasting notes here. Rich, intense, with a backbone of something I can't put my finger on; want to say 'malt' (don't laugh). Don't regret buying it, but not sure I'd go for it again. There's plenty of rich intensity out there without having to spend £98. Still, tasty, rich stuff

    Slightly Caustic

    Too harsh, tastes more like a Lagavulin and the quality gap between this 18 year old and the parliament 21 (which is lovely) is enormous. My personal opinion is it’s a disappointment that lets the good GlenDronach name down. Just to make sure I compared them both this evening a couple of times before writing my first ever review.

    Right at the top of its class and well worth every penny

    This is one gem of a whiskey. Subtle and classy , smooth Sherry bomb with definitive highland accents . Usually I’m a fan of Glenfarclas , and this has surprised me in its quality and resemblance

    The best sub £100 whisky on the market!

    This whisky is superb - if you are a fan of Glendronach’s sherried offerings, this is the best of the lot that I have had. There is much similarity to the 15yo Revival, but this just takes it that little step further. I drink GD 12yo for every day, the 15yo for something a bit more special and this for special occasions. I am now trying the GD Cask Strength Batch 7 and it is not what I expect from a GD - not even in the same ballpark.

    Most playful

    It’s similar to how Cd tracks are ordered. Your first sip is relief it’s worth the money. It is complex but it’s familiarity keeps you listening to see what’s next. It doesn’t disappoint as you continue to explore the uniqueness that I’ve only seen in this dram.
