Glendronach Traditionally Peated
A traditionally peated release made to honour The GlenDronach’s early whisky-making heritage, laid down by their founder James Allardice almost two centuries ago. It was traditional practice in the Highlands to burn peat in the kiln towards the end of the barley malting, creating a rich and warm, earthy smoke. Matured in Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso sherry, and Port casks, this rare peated expression of The GlenDronach presents notes of Highland toffee, treacle, and smoked bramble, with a lingering, rich and earthy finish.
