Description

Sold to Brown Forman in 2016, the distillery now falls under the watchful eye of Master Blender, Rachel Barrie. Exquisite isn’t exactly the word I’d use to describe the Corti Brothers Exquisite Whiskey, but we’ll get into that more below in the review. This whisky has definitely been aged in sherry casks It’s a dram I’m happy to share with my wife (sorry, bucking the trend here with being married to the same woman for over 43 years).

I found the Allardice to have intense sherry sweetness, right off, dark chocolate, orange, raisins, caramel, and at the very end a massive hit of maple syrup. Having tried this side by side with the rest of the range I'd say this is the best bang for buck, but it's not particularly cheap for an 18 year old whisky. Our traditional wooden washbacks, a copper mash tun and distinctive saxophone-shaped stills help to create The GlenDronach’s elegant, complex character with tremendous depth of taste.Die Aromen waren im Mund wie beschrieben und das Kitzeln am Gaumen und die beschriebene Intensität vorhanden. All Glendronach whiskies are matured in ex sherry barrels, but several different sorts are used, with the Allardice coming exclusively from Oloroso barrels. My ex-wife and I (married at the time) went out for a nice dinner and I decided to treat myself with something I’d never had and when I looked at the menu this stuck out since I’d had the 12 and the 15. Something about sherry finished scotch is like glue to the inside of the mouth, especially combined with a slightly high 46% ABV.

At that time, they announced a new style for the distillery flagship 12-year-old bottling, which was released in 2009.Named after the distillery's founder, James Allardice, this popular highland single malt has been at the centre of its core range since its re-launch in 2000 and is renowned as a great example of a sherry-focussed whisky. According to Whiskybase there’s only been three in 2020 and 2021 combined, while there were dozens in the years before. Just like The GlenDronach 15 year old Revival, this 18 year old Allardice has been matured in Spanish Oloroso casks. Sweet, scorched caramel, brown sugar and fruit cake and a hint of spice dance all around your tongue.

About The DistilleryFounded byJames Allardes in 1826, GlenDronach distillery, after trading hands several times, was sold by Pernod Ricard to the Benriach Distillery Company in 2008. Only bad thing I could say is that every other scotch is always going to be compared to this one and won’t ever be as good.Finally, a half decade later, I got around to tasting a sample of that GlenDronach 18 and I now know what David was talking about.
