Glendronach 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Everything We Absolutely Adore in a Sherry-Matured Whisky

When I first tasted this, it was a sample from SMWhisky of a 2018 bottling. On the nose, this possesses a subtle expression of sweetness and spice, the aromas wafting past the glass and skirting into almost-smoke. It has that older grace, which I’ve been tempted to call unremarkable. However, just like lost treasure covered in soot, the years flush over one’s tongue, burnishing into gold as the whisky lingers. That first taste evolves and impresses with flavours that practise incredible restraint across the different settings of its simple but engaging plot.

Raisin and rum pour in with strong flavours, splashed with a single imprint of lemon. As the taste lingers, spreading like the first blush of warm weather, hazelnuts roll forward and fresh grass follows shortly after –that glorious vibrancy we get as we arrive at the warmer parts of spring. The grassy outdoors fade into the vivid examination of a filled canvas in an enclosed room, awash with paint and intensified by acid drops. 

Just like a master’s painting of a sun-bathed landscape, the Glendronach 18 Year Old is incredibly coherent and warm. The entire drink just makes sense and in the many instances I’ve felt lost through a seemingly endless Melbourne lockdown, a dram of this never failed to centre me. It reads like a great book, enjoyable at every page, ready to be opened once finished to be read yet again. It’s the comfort and defense of an enjoyable habit, to use as a buffer when the world becomes hostile and unfamiliar. 

I’d pour myself a glass of this incredible nectar every night if I could, if it wasn’t already overpriced given the recent demand. I give this a very solid 9 out of 10.

#whisky thoughts and I really think more bars and restaurants need #glendronach on their menus, they make some of the best #scotchwhisky in my opinion and you hardly ever see them on a #barmenu at a restaurant. Restaurants hit me up let me help you figure out real bar and #whiskylist not the ones the #liquordistributor gives you so you get the cool free menu book 🤪🤪. What other #whiskies would you like to see on your everyday whisky lists? #glendronachwhisky #glendronachdistillery #singlemaltwhisky @glendronach . . . . . . #glendronach21 #glendronach18 #scotch #scotchwhisky #rolexwhisky #instawhisky #whiskygram #whiskylover #whiskyporn #pourmeanother #slainte #singlemaltscotchwhisky #singlemaltwhisky #highlandsinglemalt #highlandsinglemaltscotchwhisky #scotchwhiskylover (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN5kSe1j6w2/?igshid=8vk07gtucxdu

#FlashbackFriday to to my last trip to #taiwan, an amazing #whisky loving country. This #glendronach 19 single cask is right up there with the worlds best. Fruity sweetness and spice on the nose turns into honey, sherry and peppery spice as it hits the palate. The much higher abv also accentuates the flavours. . . #topwhisky #glendronach15 #whiskyclub #instabourbon #glendronach18 #lovescotch #instamalt #glendronach21 #maltwhisky #sherrybomb #maltwhiskey #sherrycask #cigar #tgif #whiskylovers #friyay #singlemaltwhiskey #singlecask #drinks #kyandkey #drinkstagram #drinkporn #gin #drinksporn #fridaynight #whiskynight (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKn4OMpsuEL/?igshid=hzzhccduerts

Did a side-by-side comparison of the 18yo Allardice and 21yo Parliament expressions from @glendronach the other day (individual reviews to come). For a $30 CAD price gap you get a world of a difference! ... The 18yo Allardice has super long legs, and the Oloroso dominates the nose, palate, and finish. ... The 21yo Parliament is a true “sherry bomb”. The PX casks definitely make an impact on the overall profile which is far deeper and more complex than the 18. ... For the $30-$40 difference I wouldn’t say one is preferable over the other because they differ so much. That being said if your budget only supports a single bottle, go with the 18, it’s truly an experience! ... #honestwhisky #whiskyreview #glendronach #glendronach18 #glendronach21 #singlemalt #singlemaltwhisky #singlemaltscotchwhisky #scotch #bourbon #whisky #whiskey #liquidgold #brownwater #dailydram #whiskylife #whiskyweekend #singlemaltsaturday #bourbonporn #bourbongram #bourbontime #bourbonlove #bourbonwhiskey #whiskyporn #whiskylove #whiskypic #slainte #cheers https://www.instagram.com/p/BoChcHTghCJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dt1fdsz916oo

#mondaymotivation and my #glendronach wins just arrived, a #glendronach21 the 2012 release, and a #glendronach18 2013 release. That #sherrycask color is daaaaaark, they make some of the best #sherrycaskmatured scotch on the market hands down, and price value on #glendronachwhisky is pretty damn spectacular. #glendronachdistillery #singlemalt #scotchwhisky @glendronach . . . . . #highlandsinglemalt #highlandsinglemaltscotchwhisky #scotchlover #whisky #whiskycollector #whiskylover #singlemaltwhisky #rolexwhisky #whiskygram #instawhisky #whiskyporn #vintagewhisky #whiskytime #whiskyblogger #whiskygeek #whiskylove (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJW3CN8jC8W/?igshid=1wxvx94119xoo

#sundayfunday and that mean #avocadotoast time. Today’s #challahbread has avocado, smoked salmon, Himalayan sea salt and some #chimichurrisauce, this #tastytasty paired with the sherry bomb of #glendronach 18 Allardice is money money.

#whiskywednesday had me feeling in a #sherrycask kind of mood. I went with @kavalanwhisky Solist Sherry Cask, @aberlour A’Bunadh batch 52, and @glendronach 18 allardice. These three #whiskys check the sherry cask box big time. #rolexbatman #kavalan #aberlour #glendronach @aberlour_us @kavalanusa . . . . . . #rolexgmtmaster2 #luxury #kavalanwhisky #aberlourabunadh #glendronach18 #topshelf #scotch #caskstrength #whisky #scotch #rolexero #singlemalt #whiskyporn #singlemaltwhisky #cheers #whiskytime #whiskylover #scotchwhisky #sandiego #singlemaltscotchwhisky (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/By6u5p4DQsD/?igshid=1p2fe9ae2b5rd

The bottle that started my love for sherried whisky. This earlier release of the #glendronach15 was balanced exquisitely. From raisins to peppery and ginger spice entwined with toffee sweetness. Is there a #whisky that really got you hooked? . . . #whiskybar #whiskycollection #dram #whiskeycollection #instadram #liquidgold #bourbon #glendronach #kyandkey #instareview #glendronach21 #kanpai #whiskyreview #glendronach18 #sherry #whiskeyreview #singlemalt #singlecask #slainte #scotch #whiskyporn #whiskygeek (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHNAyA2sij_/?igshid=1s9fut3u545bf

#tastythursday and #supportlocal with some yummy food from #dintaifung for the win. I did some fun #whiskypairing like #shrimpfriedrice with #glendronach18, the shrimp #panfriednoodles with #kavalanfino. Who would of thought #dumplings paired with #amrutportonova would work, but it’s really did, especially #xiaolongbao dumplings. I forget how much I enjoy eating from @dintaifungusa, the kids love it too. #foodie #sandiegofoodie #foodgasm @kavalanusa @amrutmalt @glendronach . . . . . . #dintaifungsandiego #foodiesofinstagram #kavalanwhisky #glendronachwhisky #amrutwhisky #foodiegram #sandiegofoodies #whiskygeek #whiskyblogger #dintaifungrestaurant #foodielife #getinmybelly😋 (at La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oWJtBjvni/?igshid=rhn04o6f2lxs

#takeoutthursday and take out from #elpescadorfishmarket is the money. A half dozen fresh oysters, a grilled #tunasandwich paired with #johnniewalker platinum, #macallan edition no 2, and #glendronach 18 is what’s on tonight’s menu. The #freshoysters and that #glendronach18 is a #foodgasm. The #macallaneditionno2 and the #johnniewalkerplatinum with the #freshtunasteak sandwich is so so yummy.

#fridayvibes and it’s been one long week, holding down the fort so my wife can get some quality family time. #homealone so I can get some sleep, so poured some #hibiki blenders choice, #johnniewalker blue label, and #glendronach 18 Allardice #sherrybomb. All were under $200 and solid everyday pours in that sweet spot of $150 to $200. #blendedwhisky #japaneseblendedwhisky #singlemaltscotchwhisky @suntorywhisky_hibiki @johnniewalker @glendronach . . . . . . . . #hibikiblenderschoice #johnniewalkerblue #glendronach18 #whiskygeek #whiskyblogger #blendedwhisky #rolexwhisky #instadram #drinkgasm #whiskygram #hibikiwhisky #glendronachwhisky #johnniewalkerwhisky #sandiego ##whiskytime #glendronachallardice #johnniewalkerbluelabel #pourmeanother #whiskylicious #sandiego (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9s3CEcDcsr/?igshid=80r94b8grq6a
