Product description
GlenDronach Cask Strength debuted in December 2012. It was another creation from Billy Walker, whose BenRiach Distillery Company bought the distillery from Pernod Ricard in 2008.
This whisky is a blend of distillates aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled without an age statement, with a natural color and without chill filtration. Since 2016, GlenDronach has been owned by the American corporation Brown-Forman, and the role of blender is held by Rachel Barrie. Her work is the twelfth edition of GlenDronach Cask Strength presented here, blended, like the previous ones, from whiskies from Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Its debut took place in the spring of 2023.
