The Highland whisky has continued its traditional processes, with a fondness for maturing a heavy and robust spirit in sherry casks for long periods of time. The GlenDronach distillery was founded in 1826 in the Forgue valley near Aberdeenshire. It specialises in creating whiskies with an elegant and complex taste, with a large depth of flavour.
Known for its rich, sherried whiskies, GlenDronach prides itself on being ‘The Sherry Cask Connoisseurs.’ This expertise and meticulous selection of Spanish sherry casks help to create the rich colour and complex flavour profiles of its whisky.

Named after the source of its water, the Dronac burn, the distillery is situated in the East Highland hills. Established by James Allardice in 1826, GlenDronach has had a series of ambitious owners.
