Glendronach Port Wood / 70cl / 46% Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling Inspired by the import of port casks into Scotland in the 19th century, this single malt has been aged in port pipes from Portugal's Douro Valley. This is the creation by Rachel Barrie, Master Blender at GlenDronach. Inspired by the rich heritage of casked sherry and port travelling to Scotland in the 19th Century, this superbly rich and fruit-filled Highland Single Malt is matured in the finest Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks and port casks from the majestic Douro Valley in Portugal. A rich, fruity and full-bodied dram to be savoured. The Highland Distillery GlenDronach is one of Scotland's oldest, and it can draw an intriguing historical lineage to the very first licenses issued for legal distilling in the Highlands. Among the founders of Glendronach was James Allardice, who was a protégé of the nobleman directly responsible for the legislation in 1823. GlenDronach was built a few years later in 1825 just outside the town of Huntly. Since then, the distillery has been burned down, changed owners numerous times and capacity has been expanded. GlenDronach was among the last to stop floor malting and it was the very last Scottish distillery to abolish the direct heating of the boilers with coal. GlenDronach, on the other hand, was among the very first distilleries to market the types of casks used to age the whisky, and the distillery was among the first to open its doors to the public by establishing a visitor center on the distillery grounds in 1973. Although GlenDronach is one of the big names in the Scotch whisky industry in terms of quality, in terms of capacity, the distillery is one of the smallest. The maximum annual capacity is only around 1.4 million liters. liters. GlenDronach - the sleeping giant. In terms of quality, GlenDronach is a sleeping giant. Most whisky fans agree that a more determined effort from the previous owners would have made GlenDronach one of the best-known distilleries in Scotland. Today, GlenDroncah is best known to whisky enthusiasts around the world. As in many similar situations, the previous owners never had a grand vision for the distillery. The malt from here was only intended as a semi-finished product for the owners' blended brands. However, after decades of delay, the time has now come for GlenDronach to take its place among the very best and most revered single malts in Scotland. The current owners - Brown-Forman have not only taken over a fantastically well-tuned - and in the best sense - an old-fashioned, traditional and beautiful production facility, but also a stock of old malt whisky that is truly unique. The warehouses at GlenDronach house a myriad of interesting casks. Sherry butts, sherry puncheons, hogsheads and quarter casks galore. There really is the potential for many exciting bottlings in the coming years
