Glendronach Distillery is resplendent with a traditional cask iron mash tun, wooden washbacks, four stills matures its malt whisky in top quality sherry casks. Glendronach Distillery has a distillery visitor centre offering a range of distillery tours and the distillery participates is the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.

Nose: Succulent sultanas and soft ripe figs dusted with cocoa hold a contrasting fresh, crisp oak spice. Dried apricots emerge giving a light fruit balance to the refined finish. 

Palate: Vibrant orange bitters and sharp citrus notes flood through rum-soaked raisins and sultanas. Soft barley, stem ginger and a gentle herb note provide an ever-changing and lengthy finish to this classic expression.
