The range consists of whisky spanning a different range of ages and vinatges all selected by Master Distiller Dr. Rachel Barrie.

Sherry Butts are the most commonly used type of cask in the sherry industry, and thus, apart from those having previously held bourbon, the type of cask most commonly utilised for maturing Scotch whisky. They are traditionally made from Spanish oak, although a significant amount of butts are also made from American white oak.
This GlenDronach single cask from batch 19 has been distilled in 1991 and left for 29 years to mature in one ex-Oloroso Sherry Puncheon. Only 644 bottles worldwide were produced. If you’re a GlenDronach fan then this one is not to be missed, check out these tasting notes.
