Glendronach 12 Year has an amazing sweetness, with a big sherry kick. Lots of honey and nougat, with a rich body and just a touch of smoke in there to keep things interesting. The finish is long but bracing with sugar, which may play down any nuance in this malt.
AppearanceDeep amber-red gold.NoseSweet, creamy vanilla, with hints of ginger. Spiced mulled wine and pear.PalateRich, creamy, silky-smooth. Warm, rich oak and sherry sweetness, full mouth feel, raisins and soft fruits. Spicy with medium length and a dry finish.ConclusionsLong, full and firm, slightly nutty.Glendronach was founded in 1826 by a business consortium headed by James Allardice.  Allardice was an innovator and made Glendronach one of the first distilleries to use sherry casks to mature their whisky.  This created a new flavour profile within the industry and therefore made it very desirable for drinkers and blending companies alike.  The majority of the distillery was gutted by a serious fire in 1837, resulting in a full refurbishment.  In 1852, Walter Scott, the former owner of Teaninich distillery in the northern Highlands, took control of Glendronach.  He built the distillery up to the level so that by the mid 1860s, Glendronach was paying the largest amount of duty of any distillery in Scotland.
