GlenDronach, founded in 1826 by James Allardice, whose name still appears on the bottle, selected some of the Douro Valley's finest port pipes to house its whisky, and Master Blender Rachel Barrie combined the whisky from these casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a fruit-filled ten-year-old, with layers of ripe berries rolling into GlenDronach's signature long, lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in its rich port-coloured livery, it makes an elegant gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a drop of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenDronach is known as one of the great sherried Highland malts: its spirit is traditionally matured in Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, which give it a rich, fruity depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Port pipe is a long, tapered cask used to age port wine in the Douro; after holding fortified red wine, the wood lends whisky red-fruit sweetness, a rosy hue and a gentle tannic grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at 46% ABV, the whisky keeps a fuller texture and more of the flavour of its casks than a standard 40% bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit-filled, with layers of ripe berries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry casks, then three years in Douro Port pipes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and lingering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The GlenDronach Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second maturation of three years in Douro Port pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highlands, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a drop of water.
