Distillery description

Glendronach is a Scottish distillery located in the Highlands, specifically in the Aberdeenshire region near the village of Forgue. Founded in 1826 by James Allardice, its name comes from the Gaelic expression "Glen Dronach," meaning "valley of the River Dronach," which flows near the distillery and supplies it with the water needed for distillation. Glendronach whisky was primarily used in blended Teacher's whisky, but in 1991 the distillery innovatively introduced two 12-year-old whiskies - one aged in ex-bourbon casks and the other in ex-sherry casks. Although this innovation attracted attention, the brand never gained significant support, and the distillery was closed between 1996 and 2002. In 2008, the distillery was purchased from Pernod Ricard by the BenRiach Distillery Company, with whisky industry legend Billy Walker playing a key role in the revival of the Glendronach brand. Among the most popular bottlings are the 12-year-old, 15-year-old Revival, 18-year-old Allardice, and 21-year-old Parliament, which is aged exclusively in ex-sherry casks.
