The GlenDronach ‘Ode to the Dark Highland’ Single Malt is an opulent, deeply aromatic expression, matured entirely in exceptional Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bottled at 50.8 per cent. This exceptional maturation gives the whisky a particularly dark, rich structure that elevates the distillery’s characteristic sherry style to a new level. The bottling combines several aromatic layers that blend into a harmonious whole, impressively reflecting the distillery’s sumptuous, full-bodied character. The interplay of intense sweetness, dark fruit notes and a silky texture defines this single malt, as does the high cask strength, which clearly emphasises its aromatic depth. The stylish gift box complements the exclusive overall impression of this edition.


The long maturation in a Pedro Ximénez cask gives the whisky its distinctive black-garnet colour, as well as a spectrum of aromas ranging from dark chocolate through to roasted notes and sumptuous dried fruits. The aromatic structure unfolds layer by layer, evoking luxurious dessert notes, complemented by spicy facets and an elegant sherry character. This complexity makes ‘Ode to the Dark’ an impressive interpretation of the The GlenDronach DNA, aimed particularly at connoisseurs of intense, sherry-driven Highland whiskies.
