Glendronach Distillery has a distillery visitor centre offering a range of distillery tours and the distillery participates is the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.

Nose: Creamy chocolate rum-raisins are perfectly spiced by a hint of sweet chilli. A gentle apple and barley note rounds off the nose.

Palate: Beautifully sweet peppery spices roll to chocolate fudge cake and waves of vanilla pod, ending in a delicate mint and stewed barley finish.
