About GlendronachScotland
The GlenDronach stands in the Valley of Forgue in Aberdeenshire, near the River Deveron, close to Huntly. It was founded in 1826 by a partnership of local farmers headed by James Allardice and was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland. Owners have included Walter Scott from 1830, Captain Charles Grant from 1920, William Teacher and Sons from 1960, Allied Distillers, Chivas Brothers and The BenRiach Distilling Company; it was mothballed in 1996 and reopened to full production in 2002. Brown-Forman bought it in 2016 and appointed Rachel Barrie as master blender. Its whisky is known for a richly sherried style from Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso Spanish oak casks, and its older limited releases include the Grandeur series, which has run since 2010.
