Lot 381 - Glendronach 18YO Allardice (bottled 2018/06/11)

Auction Ended: Tuesday 21 June, 2022

Winning Bid: £170.00

Estimate: £150 - £200
The GlenDronach 18 years old has been named after the renowned founder of the distillery, James Allardice. This exceptional sherried single malt is natural in colour and bottled at 46% ABV. Matured in the finest Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, this sublime richly sherried malt is truly unforgettable. This 2018 release will contain whisky matured for around 23 years. Introduced in 2009, Allardice is a typical heavily-sherried expression from Glendronach, matured in Oloroso casks. Due to its brief closure in 1996, versions of 18 year old expression bottled between 2013 and 2019 necessarily contained much older whisky than that. Pre-1996 distilled Glendronach like this also has a gentle peat influence due to its use in the first few hours in the malt kiln when the distillery still did its own in-house malting. This is no longer the case.
