The GlenDronach Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Aged 12 Years (750ml)If sherried single malt is very much your thing, then GlenDronach is a name you should get to know very well. The distillery resides in the Highlands, busily working away on some incredible expressions, with sherried malt sitting at the core of many of them. This particular dram, The GlenDronach 12 Year Old, is allowed to age in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximnez casks from Spain, resulting in generous helpings of dried fruit and Christmas

TASTE: Big blast of vanilla sweetness on the palate

Red Label was created by the Johnnie Walker company in 1909

A rather splendid gift set from the Glenmorangie distillery

rich in woody notes layered with touches of cinnamon and floral notes

sherry casks and virgin oak casks

intriguingly fruity and robust oak expression

at Maryland’s Sagamore Farm – naturally filtered spring water

It's then rested in an oak cask for 90 days

We then finish the whiskey in casks that had held house-made umeshu (a Japanese style of plum liqueur we made entirely from California-grown ume fruit)

Produced on the Kildalton Coast of Islay

From the Hakushu distillery in the foothills of Mount Kaikomagatake comes their Distiller's Reserve single malt whisky

getting a huge boost and more attention than they deserve due to the name associated with it
