GlenDronach whisky

GlenDronach is a Highland distillery near Huntly, known for single malt matured mainly in sherry casks. This page lists every GlenDronach we track, with the best current UK price for each.

The core ages (12 Year Old Original, 15 Year Old Revival, 18 Year Old Allardice and 21 Year Old Parliament) use Pedro Ximénez and oloroso casks, the 18 drawn from oloroso alone. Finishes such as the Port Wood use other casks, so “all sherry” is close but not exact. Only part of the range is in stock at any time, and the single-cask batches appear when retailers list them.

For the distillery’s history, see Whiskipedia on GlenDronach. Prices are the best current in-stock offer from the UK retailers we check (how we compare prices).

37 full-size bottles (50cl to 1 litre) in stock, with the best current price from the UK retailers we check.

Before comparing a hammer price with a shop price, add the fees: buying whisky at auction vs retail works through them. Auction medians for many brands have fallen since their 2021 and 2022 peaks, as what 1.6 million auction lots show about whisky prices sets out.
