The Glendronach 15yo has a special status among whisky lovers. It has been a fixture for true enjoyers for years. So when recently the packaging was completely revamped (along with the rest of the base range), it was feared that its composition and quality would also change. There was no need to worry though, this 15-year-old whisky still lives up to its reputation in full.

It matured entirely in sherry casks, which is The Glendronach's speciality. This expression involves a combination of oloroso casks and PX casks. Oloroso sherry is the most commonly used when it comes to whisky maturation, and the name itself explains its popularity: literally, it means as much as 'the fragrant' or 'the aromatic' and this type of cask adds enormous complexity to a maturing whisky. PX, in turn, stands for Pedro Ximenez, which in turn is a sherry made from the grape of the same name. While most sherry in Spain is made from the palomino grape, PX is a special variety. The grapes are left to dry in the warm Spanish sun after harvest, losing moisture and gaining flavour intensity. The result is a thick, almost syrupy and sweet sherry with a special tasting experience. This type of cask adds sweetness, as well as typical flavours of dried fruit, to a maturing whisky.

The combination of these casks creates a very rich palette of flavours in The Glendronach 15yo. The nose offers you an addictive mix of maraschino cherry, ripe blackberry and black chocolate, with hints of orange bitters and walnut liqueur. On the palate, you get apricot glazed with honey, ripe fig and a crescendo of black cherry, angelica and dark brown sugar. That smorgasbord of flavours continues into the finish, with great length.

This whisky is matured in Sherry Matured barrels. It is a version of 70 cl and has an alcohol content of 46%.
