Nicknamed “Allardice” after the distillery’s 19th-century founder, Glendronach 18 is a sherry lover’s dream, bold, brooding, and uncompromising. Aged entirely in Oloroso sherry casks, this Highland icon is dark, complex, and dripping with history.

Deep conversations, quiet winter nights, or those rare moments when you want your dram to feel like a velvet curtain slowly closing. A true collector's pour.

Expert Notes
Revered by whisky critics and connoisseurs, Glendronach 18 is a benchmark for sherry maturation. It’s frequently compared to far older (and pricier) whiskies for its depth and structure.

Customer Reviews
“A sherry bomb with elegance. Rich but never cloying.”   Ivan T.
“My top shelf go to. Every pour feels like a ritual.”   Miriam S.
“Deep, dark, and utterly satisfying. The kind of whisky you don’t rush.”   Carlo J.

Interesting Fact
Glendronach’s dunnage warehouses use traditional earthen floors, allowing the casks to breathe and age slowly, giving the whisky its old-world depth and roundness.

Serving Suggestions
Neat, in a wide glass to let the nose unfold. A drop of water teases out more dried fruit and spice. Pair with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or simply enjoy it solo.
