Glendronach Ode To The Dark Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Highland mastery meets the darkest depths of Pedro Ximénez sherry casks?

The Glendronach Ode To The Dark represents the pinnacle of sherry cask maturation, exclusively aged in Pedro Ximénez casks as part of The Master’s Anthology series. This Highland single malt showcases why Glendronach has earned its reputation as Scotland’s sherry whisky specialist since 1826. While collectors might also consider the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba’s cask strength intensity or The Dalmore 25 Years’ aged complexity, this expression delivers uncompromising sherry influence at remarkable value.
