GLENDRONACH 12 Year Old
The GlenDronach 12 Year Old Original is a classic, richly sherried Highland single malt Scotch whisky, matured for at least 12 years in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 43% ABV and with natural colour, it delivers a sweet, creamy style that has become a favourite among sherry-cask whisky lovers in Malaysia, Singapore and across Asia.

The palate is full and inviting: caramelised bramble fruit, silky orange and sultanas envelop the tongue, layered with warming spice. The overall impression is a dessert-like, sherry-rich dram that balances sweetness, fruit, spice and gentle oak in a very approachable way.
