Stop! Wait a minute… get your cup and put this liquor in it… take a sip… you will thank us later… Angus, get this Scotch!    
 
James Allardice was the second person to apply for a license to distill Whisky in Scotland, way back in 1826. Them’s some good times, my friend!  Over the years, The GlenDronach has been owned by a veritable Who’s-Who of the historic lineage of Whisky masters; from Walter Scott, to Captain Charles Grant, and William Teacher & Sons.   
 
The late 1990’s saw some troubled times for the proud distillery, and many thought that the Spirit suffered. But the good times roll again! The BenRiach Distillery Company bought out the property and has restored this Highland Single Malt to its former glory, and then some. Their entire Whisky line is "sherried," meaning matured only in Oloroso Sherry casks. Highland, Single Malt, sherry casks, proper aging… We're sold!   
 
If you want your Whisky to set off the smoke alarm as you pull bits of charred oak from your teeth, this is not your dram. If, on the other hand, you want to taste the revival of a historic, Highland Single Malt brought back to its heritage of excellent distillation, premium components, and proper maturation in Oloroso Sherry casks… you are going to LOVE this gorgeous Scotch.   
 
Some Whisky can be said to have "body." If put into a beauty competition context, The GlenDronach 18 will make all its competition bite their lips with envy. It really is a beauty. This Whisky pours like amber-gold watercolor in the rain. Richness? When Warren Buffet needs advice he calls Billy Walker — Whisky legend and master blender at The GlenDronach. The color is right, the aroma is right, the palate is right, the finish is right … smooth and pleasantly sweet with cherried-walnuts and a long, lingering caress at the finish.

Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
In 2009, the new owners invested around 7 million GBP in the GlenDronach distillery.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.

A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
