About
Details

A Single Cask, 54.7% ABV kick in the right.

The Glendronach distillery was founded in 1826 and stands as one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland. It is located in a secluded spot in Aberdeenshire and dedicated to producing richly Sherried Scotch style with their 4 copper pot stills.

Every year their master distiller Billy Walker selects a handful of individual casks from their warehouses to be bottled as Limited Releases. The maturing Whiskies date back as far as 1968 in a vast selection of barrels, hogsheads, puncheons and butts.

The Glendronach 1993 20 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Butt was released as part of their 8th batch in August 2013, after a 20 year maturation in an Oloroso Sherry butt. Only 669 of this single cask release were ever bottled, at a 54.7% ABV.
