The GlenDronach 18 Year Old Allardice is a classic Highland single malt named in honour of the distillery’s founder, James Allardice. This 2020 release continues GlenDronach’s celebrated sherry cask tradition, matured for 18 years in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks.

Rich, full-bodied, and deeply expressive, Allardice is known for its balance of dark fruit, warming spice, polished oak, and elegant sherry depth. It is a whisky that speaks clearly to GlenDronach’s signature style: robust Highland spirit shaped by long maturation in quality sherry wood.

The nose opens with classic Oloroso sherry character, followed by floral freshness, oak, nutmeg, cherry, stone fruits, and gentle wood spice. On the palate, it is sweet and layered, showing notes of marzipan, dark cherry, baking spices, earthy pepper, dry nuts, and a subtle earthy richness. The finish is medium to long, rounded, and warming, with lingering cherry, demerara syrup, spice, and soft oak dryness.

A beautifully sherried 18 year old single malt, this 2020 release is a strong choice for collectors and GlenDronach lovers seeking depth, maturity, and classic Oloroso influence.
