This was one of my favorite whiskeys over 25 years ago but it is difficult to find and almost impossible to get in a restaurant. I just happened to find a bottle when I went into the ABC store in the Red Neck Riviera. Color me shocked.
The distillery was opened in 1826 and underwent several ownership changes over the years. It was mothballed in 1996, which probably led to my inability to find it. Luckily for us, they started back up again in 2002.
Glendronach is a Highland whiskey that is matured in sherry casks. It has a pleasing golden amber color and a sweet nose. As you would expect from the sherry casks, the palate is smooth and velvety. The finish is long and warming.
I highly recommend this little known whiskey. It will be worth the trouble to find.

You'll be surprised at the selection there. They have everything. Just don't go there just before a hurricane comes to town because it's a mad house.
