Glendronach 21 Years Old Sherry Cask 2025 Release

The Glendronach 21 Year Old Sherry Cask matured Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, part of the 2025 rebranded ultra-premium collection, which includes the 21, 30, and 40 Year Old trio.
It was matured in fine Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Andalucía in Spain.
Glendronach 21 Year Old marks the first release in the premium core range to feature the brand's new visual identity. The Glendronach's 21 Year Old Parliament whisky was discontinued in 2024. In 2025, the distillery, has revived its 21 Year Old age statement malt in its rebranded packaging, as a result of the creative campaign led by Scottish photographer and director Rankin.
‘The Glendronach Aged 21 Years is an elegant and sublime expression, defined by its exceptional balance and depth. The time-honoured maturation style using Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks reveals a symphony of richness and finesse, culminating in a long, lingering finish’. Rachel Barrie, Master Blender at Glendronach

    Nose:    Deep aromatics autumn fruits, candied orange, and gently spiced oak.

    Taste:    Rich, notes of sherry-soaked plum pudding, bitter chocolate, dried fruits and warming spices.

    Finish:    Long, satisfying finish.

Glendronach was built in 1826 by James Allardice, and rebuilt following a fire in 1852 by an individual named Walter Scott (although not the one you might be thinking of). It eventually passed into the hands of perhaps Scotland's greatest distilling dynasty, the Grants of Glenfiddich. Charles, the youngest son of William Grant procured the then-silent distillery from the government in 1920, and it remained in the family until they sold it to Wm. Teacher 40 years later. The Grants and Teachers were early champions of the single malt category, and distillery bottlings of Glendronach were produced for most of the 20th century until it was mothballed by Allied Distillers in 1996. The distillery was revived in 2002 and has since become one of the strongest single malt brands in the world.
