Product description
Glendronach Distillery was founded in 1826 by James Allardes and has had a succession of eminent owners.
Their long list includes Walter Scott of Teaninich, Charles Grant (son of William, the founder of Glenfiddich and Balvenie distilleries), William Teacher & Sons, Allied Domecq, BenRiach Distillery Company and finally Brown-Forman Corporation. In the last decade GlenDronach has been rightly enjoying its cult status and the Allied decision from 1996 to mothball the distillery still surprises many.
