GlenDronach 2007 11 Year Old Whisky Club 5th Birthday Edition
Lot number: 101-01697
Winning bid: £80
In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice, along with a consortium of local farmers, founded the distillery and began producing his "Guid GlenDronach" single malt. Unfortunately Allardice's marketing strategy of offering free drams to Edinburgh's "ladies of night", coupled with a fire at the distillery in 1837, led to him declaring bankruptcy.
Thankfully however, the story doesn't end there...
The distillery was rebuilt by Walter Scott in 1852 and - although it has changed hands several times over the years (and was even mothballed between 1996 and 2000) - it continues today; a firm favourite of Sherry Heads everywhere.
Distilled: 2007
Age: 11 Years Old
Cask Type: Pedro Ximenez
46% ABV / 70cl
