Glendronach means valley of brambles in Gaelic. In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice founded the distillery and began producing his single malt Guid GlenDronach. Over the years, the distillery thrived under the guidance of far-sighted investors such as Walter Scott in 1847 and Captain Charles Grant in 1920.
Located near the town of Huntley in the eastern part of Speyside, this distillery uses traditional production methods (malting which includes the partial use of a peat oven and stills heated by direct fire), which largely explains the powerful character and the strong personality of their Single Malts. It has always been a very rich blend, left to age in sherry casks that reveal a perfect balance between barley malt and wild berry notes.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
