Glendronach 1993 Pedro Ximenez cask 700ml

Glendronach is a historically significant and well-loved single malt whisky produced in the village of Forgue, near Huntly in Aberdeenshire in the Scottish Highlands. The original homestead, Glen House, was built in 1771 and the distillery was added in 1826. The distillery changed hands several times before coming under the control of Teacher and Sons, producers of a popular blend, in 1960. Glendronach's output was an important part of the Teacher's blend through the next four decades, until the facility was mothballed in 1996. It was reopened by Allied Distillers in 2001 and passed into the ownership of Pernod-Ricard's Chivas Brothers arm in 2006, before being bought by the BenRiach Distillery Company in 2008. The Benriach group, including Glendronach and Glengassaugh distilleries, were acquired by the Brown-Forman corporation in 2016. The distillery produces a core range of five expressions, all involving various levels of Sherry cask aging, and a series of wood finish expressions and limited releases. The whiskies are popular with both critics and collectors, and can achieve high prices at auction.
