Whisky: The Finest Cut
GLENDRONACH 12 YEAR OLD ORIGINAL AND HIGHLAND PARK 12 YEAR OLD
GLENDRONACH 12 YEAR OLD ORIGINAL
Single malt.
Thanks to its rich, weighty spirit and penchant for sherry cask maturation, GlenDronach is often viewed as an excellent (and affordable) alternative to Macallan, despite being just on the wrong side of the Speyside / Highland border.
Once providing the heart of the Teacher’s blend, in recent years GlenDronach has become better known as a single malt thanks to substantial investment by Pernod Ricard, who acquired ownership in 2008, and more recently by Brown-Forman (producers of Jack Daniel’s) who took over in 2016.
40% ABV / 70cl
HIGHLAND PARK 12 YEAR OLD
Single malt.
Orkney’s Highland Park distillery is situated in the town of Kirkwall on the site of an illicit still thought to have been operated by Magnus Eunson, a smuggler, local butcher and former priest who was directly descended from Viking settlers. With that heritage, it’s fitting that today they frequently draw from Scandinavian mythology when it comes to naming their whiskies.
The distillery is known for its signature style that utilises Orcadian peat in the malting process, resulting in a fragrant, heathery spirit that is most often left matured in Sherry wood.
40% ABV / 70cl
