GlenDronach Peated was distilled using peated malted barley, then was first matured in bourbon casks followed by a second period of maturation in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.

GlenDronach 19 Year Old Madeira Cask Finish, was initially matured in European oak casks and then finished its maturation in a very small batch of Madeira hogshead casks.

Commenting on the new releases, Alistair Walker, Sales Director at The BenRiach Distillery which owns GlenDronach, said: "There is the unique smoky sweetness of the new Peated expression, the richly fragrant Madeira finish and the signature robust sherry character of the Cask Strength batch five. Everyone here at GlenDronach is amazed by these three magnificent expressions...and we know our customers worldwide will be too.”

All three new releases will be available later this month from specialist retailers for the following RRP’s: GlenDronach Peated £38.99, GlenDronach 19 Year Old Madeira Cask Finish £76.99 and GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 5 £55.99.
