The GlenDronach 50 Years
This rare expression of The GlenDronach was distilled over fifty years ago in 1971, filled into rare Spanish oak from the bodegas of Jerez in Andalucía, and left to quietly mature in our traditional dunnage warehouses.The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years represents a milestone in the near two-hundred-year history of the distillery. Personally selected by Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, this is the first fifty-year-old expression of The GlenDronach to be released.
Tasting Notes
- Colour : Antique mahogany chestnut
- Nose : Rich and seductive with mellow layers of alluring complexity. Ripe dark cherry and plum are the prelude to a harmony of rolling stone fruit, gentian and a plume of smoldering tobacco – lifted by lilting notes of bramble, orange and cranberry.
- Taste : Dense undertones of dark chocolate, tobacco and cocoa form an exquisite overture of flavour. A perfect counter comes in a crescendo of elegant plum and luxurious black cherry, enrobed in a swath of velvet espresso.
- ABV : 43.8 ABV / 87.6 Proof

GlenDronach, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, creating the finest richly sherried single malts for nearly 200 years.
The GlenDronach is of true Highland style: a heavy and robust spirit, perfect for a long maturation period in sherry casks. At The GlenDronach Distillery, we have carried forth the tradition of our founder James Allardice since 1826, maturing our whisky in the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucía.
We continue to work towards mastering the art of sherry cask maturation, and our Highland whiskies are recognized for their deep colour and rich flavour profiles, which range from sweet fruity flavours, from the Pedro Ximenez casks we select, to the dry and nutty notes, from superb Oloroso casks. Our well-kept secrets have been guarded for nearly 200 years by a parliament of rooks who love The GlenDronach so much they try to nest in the warehouses. The distillery folk believe as long as the rooks remain at the distillery, it will be good for the whisky.
As was the case in 1826, The GlenDronach Distillery patiently matures its single malt whisky in superior quality sherry casks. Our distilling methods may be old-fashioned, but we prefer to look on them as handcrafted techniques created through nearly 200 years of tradition.
From the germination of the barley to the flow of the purest middle cuts of distilled spirit, every step in The GlenDronach journey is taken with meticulous care and immaculate timing.
Our malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and traditional wooden washbacks form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Our elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the richest spirit which is then filled into the finest casks and left patiently maturing in our warehouses. Nearly 70% of the flavour in whisky is derived from the cask it has been matured in. Wood’s important, which is why we adopt a ‘no compromise’ approach when choosing our world-renowned sherry casks to enrich our whisky. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that The GlenDronach is famous for.
