GlenDronach 12 Year Old Original is one of Scotland's most celebrated sherried single malts, matured for a minimum of twelve years in a combination of the finest Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, it is bottled at natural colour, non-chill filtered, and at 43% ABV, preserving the full character of this exceptional Highland spirit. Why You'll Love It The GlenDronach 12 Original is the benchmark expression for lovers of sherry-matured Scotch, offering a level of richness, depth, and complexity that is rarely matched at this price point. The combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks builds a profile of extraordinary sweetness and warmth, with raisins, soft fruits, and creamy vanilla developing over twelve years into something truly special. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour, every drop of flavour is preserved exactly as nature intended. An outstanding everyday dram and an ideal introduction to the GlenDronach house style. Distillery & Maturation GlenDronach distillery has been producing whisky in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland since 1826. The 12 Year Old Original is matured for a minimum of twelve years in a combination of Spanish Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, the two cask types that define the GlenDronach house style. The PX casks contribute rich dried fruit sweetness and dark sugar, while the Oloroso casks add depth, nuttiness, and warming spice. Bottled without chill filtration and at natural colour to preserve every nuance of the sherry cask maturation. Tasting Notes The appearance is a deep amber-red gold. The nose is sweet and creamy, with vanilla, hints of ginger, spiced mulled wine, and pear. On the palate, rich, creamy, and silky-smooth, with warm oak and sherry sweetness, a full mouth feel, raisins, and soft fruits, with a spicy character and medium length leading to a dry finish. The conclusion is long, full, and firm, with a slightly nutty linger. Best enjoyed neat or
Knockando 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Knockando 12 Year Old is a classic Speyside single malt known for its gentle, natural style. The distillery bottles each vintage separately rather than blending across years, so the whisky always reflects the character of a single season’s production. It’s matured primarily in ex‑bourbon casks, giving it a light, clean profile with soft fruit and malt notes. Its aroma shows fresh orchard fruit, vanilla, soft malt and a touch of almond. On the palate, it offers a smooth, delicate texture with notes of apple, pear, cereal sweetness, light oak and a hint of spice. The finish is clean, gently sweet and crisp, making it an easygoing Speyside malt ideal for those who enjoy subtle, elegant whisky. The name 'knockando' means 'Little black hill' in Gaelic. Knockando is bottled one season at a time, so you will see the distilled date on the label.
