They are smack dab in the middle of the Highland action about a mile south of the River Deveron. Over their 200-year history, this traditional distillery has been bought, sold, and traded more times than a Chicago politician. But in 2008 they were acquired from\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Pernod Ricard\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; by the BenRiach Distillery Company.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;GlenDronach has won a lot of awards across their wide range of superlative releases. But the best award — and the only one you probably care about — is that they have a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;devoted cadre of followers \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;who make GlenDronach their personal, daily dram.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;At GlenDronach, they age their Single Malt in a combination of\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; Pedro Ximenez \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Oloroso Sherry casks\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; — it is a vital part of their signature flavor profile.\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; The Glendronach Port Wood Finish\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; starts just that same way, so the Spirit has a lovely and strong Sherry influence. But this dram is then finished in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Douro Valley Port Wine pipes.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; The combination is a bit of a gamble. Sherry and Port finishing are rarely combined in Whiskies because it takes a\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; confident, experienced hand \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;superlative taste buds\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; to strike the right balance.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;But GlenDronach’s master Blender Rachel Barrie scores a win. This dram is really \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;well-balanced \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;exciting in the mouth\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; at a perfect 46% ABV with no chill-filtration or other funny stuff.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;*This bottle is a collector’s item; we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;**Individual orders are limited to one item per person, as we wish to give everyone the opportunity to participate.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;***Any kind of transit damage is insured and will be reimbursed. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135689810102,"sku":"60992","price":22.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/theglendronachportwood-700ml_60992_01_c087e533_0fb7428b-9573-49ac-93dd-b3047695f6dd.jpg?v=1779276788","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/theglendronachportwood-700ml-60992","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
