A Bicentennial Celebration
with Rachel Barrie
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime journey into the heart of the Highlands. To mark two centuries of unwavering dedication to Sherry cask maturation, we invite you to an exclusive, immersive weekend at The Glendronach. Hosted by our Master Blender, Dr. Rachel Barrie, this pilgrimage is a deep dive into the rich heritage and sherried future of our distillery.
Your home for the weekend is the historic Meldrum House Country Hotel & Golf Club. Enjoy a two-night stay in a setting as rich and refined as the whisky itself. Sit down to dinner with Rachel on your first evening where stories take centre stage. Rachel will reflect on her journey as Master Blender, sharing her vision for the 200th anniversary milestone.
After a relaxed morning, enjoy an immersive descent into the Valley of the Brambles, learning of how The Glendronach became world renowned in sherry cask maturation with a sensory exploration of our mastery.
The weekend reaches its crescendo with an evening of unparalleled elegance at Boynsmill House. Within the walls of the founder’s own residence, you will join Rachel for a multi-course celebratory banquet. A menu designed to complement the robust notes of Oloroso and the sweetness of Pedro Ximénez, featuring the finest local Highland produce.
After a final Highland breakfast at Meldrum House, we return to the valley of Forgue for a quiet, intimate conclusion to the Bicentennial Celebration. As the gates of The Glendronach close behind you, you leave not just as a guest, but as a custodian of the The Glendronach legacy.
