Distillery: GlenDronach

Age: NAS

ABV: 46%

Cask: Bourbon, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks

Size: 700 ml

A peated Glendronach is not something that you see often though we must emphasize that it comes across as gently or lightly peated. Initially matured in bourbon casks and then into Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks, this whisky leans more towards bourban cask flavors -  honey wax, malty, floral, spicy notes and subtle smoky elements. More earthy notes than the usual islay smoke or maritime saltiness while retaining the character of the Glendronach spirit.
