GlenDronach 50 years of whisky

We are pleased to present a unique bottle from the distillery GlenDronach. This bottle represents a milestone in GlenDronach's almost 200 year history - a 1971 vintage whisky that has been in cask for more than 50 years. The casks themselves are sherry casks from a Spanish sherry bodega in Andalusia - carefully selected to hold the raw spirit from the distillery stills for many years. The folks at GlenDronach have been keeping an eye on the sherry casks since 1971 and when Masterblender Rachel Barrie (Read also the blog post - A woman in a world of men) was hired, her task was to put together GlenDronach 50 years of whisky. The result does not disappoint, great equipment, great whisky and with a very limited number of bottles available. Only 198 bottles and this is no. 156 with an alcohol percentage of 43.8% - if this bottle is for you, give us a call on +45 5210 6093

GlenDronach has a long and exciting history
The Highland Distillery GlenDronach is one of Scotland's oldest, and it can draw an exciting historical line to the very first licenses issued for legal distilling in the Highlands. The founder of GlenDronach was James Allardice, who was a protégé of the lord directly responsible for the legislation in 1823. GlenDronach was built a few years later in 1825, but whisky has certainly been produced on site long before official registration, as the first building on the distillery site dates back to 1771. This is the 'The Glen House', which still stands tall on the site today, majestically overseeing the activities of the entire distillery. The building, which has been home to several of the distillery's managers over the years, was originally called Boynsmill, but it was renamed 'The Glen House' by James Allardice. Since its establishment in 1826, the distillery has been burnt down, changed hands numerous times and capacity has been expanded.

In the 1860s, GlenDronach was the highest tax-paying distillery in the Highlands, with more than 50 families living in and around the distillery, all of whom were employed at the distillery. At this time GlenDronach was almost a small village in the Highlands. GlenDronach was among the last distilleries to stop floor malting (in 1996) and it was the very last Scottish distillery to abolish direct coal-fired boiler heating as recently as 2005.

GlenDronach However, it was among the very first distilleries to market the cask types used to age the whisky's label, and it was also among the first to open its doors to the public by establishing a visitor center on the distillery grounds in 1973.
