GlenDronach Forgue 10-year-old / 43% / 1.0l

GlenDronach Forgue debuted in early autumn 2018 for exclusive distribution in the Travel Retail chain.

The whisky is named after the Forgue Valley, where the distillery is located, and is a blend of distillates aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled with natural color and without chill filtration. GlenDronach is a small distillery (equipped with two pairs of stills, it can produce 1.4 million liters of spirit per year), owned by the American Brown-Forman Corporation since 2016. For decades, it has been famous for whisky aged in sherry casks, and the Forgue edition is a continuation of this tradition.
