Glendronach is one of the most prominent and important distilleries in Scotland’s Highlands. The distillery was founded in the 1920s but came to wider attention in the 1960s after being taken over by Teacher’s, for which it was to become a key malt. After a low period under the notoriously careless Allied Distillers, Glendronach was revived under Billy Walker, whose Benriach Distillery Co. bought the distillery in 2008.
Walker turned around Glendronach’s fortunes by the simple expedient of great cask selection, a high quality core range and prestige bottlings of vintage sherry casks, which were already plentiful in the distillery’s inventory. This good work has continued since Walker sold the distillery to Brown Forman in 2016. At auction, 1970s sherry casks and old Teacher’s-era Glendronach bottlings are always worth seeking out, although prices now reflect the distillery’s popularity.
