Glendronach Peated 0,7l 48% GB

Glendronach Peated is an exceptional whisky with a robust Highland character, combining traditional malting techniques with the richness and fullness for which The Glendronach is renowned. This whisky is specially peated and matured in casks that previously contained Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry as well as port wine. This combination gives rise to unique notes of caramel, treacle (molasses), smoked blackberries and has a rich, earthy finish.
