GlenDronach Traditional Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml 48.0%

The Highlands Reimagined: A Peated Masterpiece from GlenDronach

The GlenDronach Distillery, nestled in the valley of Forgue, deep in the East Highland hills, is world-renowned for its mastery of Sherry cask maturation. With the Traditional Peated expression, the distillery pays homage to the ancient methods of the 19th century, where peat was used to dry the malted barley, resulting in a unique, smoky Highland profile that is both robust and elegantly complex.

This non-age statement release is a rare gem in the GlenDronach portfolio, offering a departure from their unpeated classics while maintaining their signature richness. Bottled at a bold 48% ABV and non-chill filtered, it is the perfect companion for discerning enthusiasts who seek a harmonious balance between intense highland smoke and the sweet, fruity influence of premium sherry casks.
