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 love three brands in Whisky - Macallan, Glenfarclas & Glenfarclas. Glendronach is the unsung hero of sherry cask whiskies. Their 1995 PX 20 years single cask is one of the best whiskies I have tasted in my entire life. Amazing whisky.
The 15yo revival has been my favourite Scotch for some time, and how disappointed I am that sourcing a bottle now (if you can find one) costs a min of £90+, with some people advertising at £150. I wont pay these ripoff merchants even when they try play the old 'supply and demand' trick, however I recently bought a bottle of Allardice and have to say its pretty close. There's all the tastes in there of the 15, so at least I can now while away the hours nosing Christmas all year round !!. - I just hope Glendronach don't run out of this too and expect us to wait a few years till they make some more lol.
Heard about this whisky got two bottles and what a lovely whisky
Simply awesome . . . .5*****
This is one of my favorites. I just tasted this back to back with the Revival 15, and I can't decide which is better. They are both top-shelf whiskies. The Revival is more balanced with a hint of spiciness whereas the Allardice 18 overpowers my mouth with intense sweet mature fruit, toffee and sherry flavor with a deeper and longer finish. I have a 2015 bottling which makes my whisky a 20 year old. Yummy! People complaining that this is too sweet? What are you thinking??? This is a sherry bomb, and Glendronach and other reviewers have made this clear. If you hate sweet whiskies stop buying sherry monsters!
