Glendronach 20 Year Old 2006 - Woodrow's of Edinburgh Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

A refill bourbon-matured Glendronach single malt is not something you see every day, which makes this single cask release from Woodrow's of Edinburgh especially intriguing. Distilled in 2006 and matured for a full 20 years in bourbon wood, this cask strength bottling strips away the distillery’s usual heavy sherry influence and lets the spirit’s waxy, nutty complexity speak clearly. Just 205 bottles from cask #2107.

Nose: Beeswax, toasted coconut, ripe peach, and vanilla pod, with hints of polished oak and almond pastry.

Palate: Creamy malt, honeycomb, and tropical fruit develop into ginger spice, citrus oils, and roasted nuts.

Finish: Drying oak, vanilla cream, and soft spice lingering beautifully.

Distillery Information

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. It is said the duke encouraged the group to build GlenDronach. The distillery changed hands in 1852, to Walter Scott of Teaninich. Following his death, a group from Leith acquired the distillery. It was in 1920 that William Grant’s son Charles Grant purchased GlenDronach for £9,000. A few months later production began once more, the distillery having been silent for some time. During the 1960s, William Teacher and Sons acquired the distillery and subsequently installed two new stills. In 1976, Allied took over and in 1996 they mothballed the distillery. Production began again in 2002 and three years later, following the acquisition of Allied, Chivas Brothers became the new owner. In 2005, the distillery was closed for a few months to allow for conversion from coal to steam to heat the stills. This change may well effect the character of the single malt whisky. When fire from coal directly heats the stills, the distribution of heat is somewhat uneven, creating hotspots. These hotspots proffer a richer, toffee-like Scotch whisky. Steam indirectly heats the stills, providing even distribution, without the caramel and toffee overtones. Long since associated with Teachers, GlenDronach’s whisky has been used in the blends since the late 1800s. Following the Chivas Brothers acquisition, it has been a constituent of Chivas Regal. The GlenDronach distillery was purchased by BenRiach’s owners in 2008 for £15 million.
