Glendronach The Heilan 8 Year Old
A new-ish expression of Glendronach that has been aged in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry barrels. Top marks to the makers for adding the 8 year old age statement when they could have hidden it behind a 'no age statement'. This has plenty of Glendronach distillery character and as expected is lighter and fresher tasting compared to their older expressions.
