Glendronach Allardice 18 Year Scotch Whiskey

GlenDronach Allardice 18 Year Old is the prestige age-stated expression from GlenDronach Distillery — the most intensely sherried distillery in Scotland presenting 18 years of exclusively Oloroso sherry cask maturation, named after James Allardice who reputedly introduced the sherry-cask maturation practice to GlenDronach in 1826, delivering the most developed and complex expression in the standard GlenDronach range.

Matured entirely in Oloroso sherry casks (not PX or mixed, unlike the 12 Year), the Allardice 18 is the purest expression of what extended Oloroso maturation produces at GlenDronach — 18 years of Oloroso oak influence producing maximum dried fruit, walnut, dark spice, and complex oak character.
