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.

The GlenDronach 33 year old is regarded by many as one of the distillery's greatest releases. Matured in the finest Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, this fabulous malt was first released in 2004 and has been popular ever since. Even Jim Murray is a fan, calling it "a golden nugget of a dram."
