The Glendronach Distillery, nestled in the Valley of Forgue, near Huntly in the Scottish Highlands, has been making richly sherried single malt whisky since 1826. Known for its deep color and full-bodied spirit, Glendronach's long use of both oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks have become a signature style. Traditional production methods include long fermentation times and (until 2005) the use of coal-fired stills. Led by Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, the distillery continues to produce its signature highly cask-influenced style.
