For years, i have been looking for a replacement for the old favourite, which i remember mostly for its brown sugar and caramel toffee aftertaste. The 18 Year Old expression of Glendronach has been named Allardice in honour of James Allardice, who founded the distillery in 1826.

Flavours of stewed fruits and all-spice marry together with classic aged oloroso sherry and toasted walnut bread combined with chocolate orange. One final little tidbit that might not be news for you, but the GlenDronach 18 Years Allardice is named after the founder of the distillery, James Allardice.

Thankfully (for me) I don’t get the oak which I feel is so prevalent on the Glenfiddich 18 and Balvenie 12. Nose: Kicking things off with the thinnest layer of gunpowder (which quickly disappears), quickly followed by cedarwood, blackcurrants, raisins and a handful of figs, accompanied by cigar tobacco, subtle notes of cappuccino, and a sliver of mint.

Proper, dark, warming sherry-matured whisky that's absolutely top notch, but lacks a certain je ne sais quoi for a higher rating. The GlenDronach 18-year-old is a tribute to the esteemed founder of the distillery, James Allardice. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. Taste: Thick mouthfeel with big notes of coffee and mocha, but also dark chocolate, some nutmeg and a pinch of black pepper. Just like The GlenDronach 15 year old Revival, this 18 year old Allardice has been matured in Spanish Oloroso casks.

We'll send them to be recycled and you'll save paper, carbon emissions and time at the recycling centre! Matured in the finest Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 46%, this sublime richly sherried malt is truly unforgettable.

Glendronach distillery is a Scottish whisky distillery located near Forgue, by Huntly, Aberdeenshire, in the Highland whisky district. The result is a truly unforgettable whisky, characterised by its sublime richness and deep sherried profile. This 18 year old GlenDronach has been exclusively matured in the finest oloroso sherry casks from Andalucia in Spain.

The colour along with the taste is much richer and superior, however the finish is nowhere near as smooth and makes it far less pleasing to drink overall. Commande effectuée le 13 avril, livraison prévue pour le 21 avril mais bonne surprise, elle est arrivée ce matin dans ma boîte aux lettres. Fittings include a copper mash tun, Oregon pine washbacks, four steam-heated copper spirit stills and defunct floor maltings.

Tasting Procedure: Whisky was poured into a cold-water rinsed Glencairn, and set out for about 25 minutes. The same also goes for other core range expressions like the 15-year-old Revival, 18-year-old Allardice and 21-year-old Parliament. C'est, pour ma part, l'un des meilleurs whisky que je connaisse mais je ne suis qu'un petit amateur. Our traditional wooden washbacks, a copper mash tun and distinctive saxophone-shaped stills help to create The GlenDronach’s elegant, complex character with tremendous depth of taste.

Matured in the finest Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, this sublime richly sherried malt is truly unforgettable. The Oloroso sherry flavours of toasted nuts, dried fruits, walnut skins, orange oil and - amazingly - even red fruits are so beautifully balanced that we can sit and enjoy a glass for hours. Would love to try the later ones to see if they still have a good proportion of the much older spirit in there.
