Breathe in Highland freshness with GlenDronach 9 Year Old – 2006 Vintage “Relaxing in an Alpine Meadow,” SMWS 96.8. Distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2015 by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, this release spent its life in a single refill bourbon barrel (#96.8), allowing GlenDronach’s malty core to shine in a rarely seen, ex-bourbon profile. At natural cask strength and limited to just 172 individually numbered bottles, it swaps the distillery’s usual sherry opulence for breezy meadow florals, fresh fruit and creamy vanilla sweetness—capturing the easy tranquillity of its evocative name.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

• A rare ex-bourbon GlenDronach (SMWS 96.8) showcasing fruity freshness over the distillery’s typical sherried style.

• Entirely from a single refill bourbon barrel, yielding bright orchard-fruit notes, honey and creamy vanilla.

• Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour—only 172 bottles worldwide.

• Perfect for SMWS members and collectors seeking a unique, lighter-styled GlenDronach that evokes the serenity of an alpine meadow.

Savour this limited Highland dram for a delightful departure from GlenDronach’s dark-fruit norm—an airy, floral whisky that invites you to relax and breathe in the Highland meadow air.
