GlenDronach – Traditionally Peated (48%)

GlenDronach Traditionally Peated is a peated Highland single malt bottled at 48%. Rachel Barrie created it using principles and methods close to those of the distillery's founder, James Allardice, who worked nearly two hundred years ago, when Highland distillers dried malted barley over peat fires. The whisky is matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso and Port casks and has a golden colour. On the nose there are toffee, honey and smoke. The palate brings spicy notes of orange and cloves, with the smoke sitting comfortably alongside. Liquorice and dark fruits come through in a long, lingering finish.
