The GlenDronach distillery lies at the Dronach Burn in the Deveron area. The whisky distillery was founded in 1826, by a syndicate headed by James Allardes. Thanks to the fifth Duke of Gordon, distillation throughout the highlands was legalized in the early 19th century. The GlenDronach distillery uses six warehouses, three traditional dunnage which are no more than three barrels high, and three racked. GlenDronach produces around 1.4 million litres of whisky per annum.
The GlenDronach Port Wood is inspired by the historical import of Port casks into Scotland during the 19th century. During the 1800s, port was ‘de rigueur’, and many of the finest port barrels would travel from Portugal, down its Douro River, destined for the wine cellars of Scotland’s gentry. Whilst many years have passed, Portugal’s majestic Douro Valley is still renowned for its exceptional Port. GlenDronach have selected some of its finest port casks to house The GlenDronach for a second maturation period of three years. Master Blender has expertly combined the whisky from these port barrels, to create a fruit-filled expression, with layers of ripe berries rolling into its signature long, lingering finish.
