The GlenDronach
MOSCATEL FINISH
AGED 15 YEARS
July 2010 saw the release of 4 new GlenDronach Wood Finishes – the first of their kind to ever be released by the distillery in its 180 year history. The GlenDronach Moscatel Wood Finish expression was initially matured in European oak and thereafter finished its maturation in a very small batch of Moscatel wine barrels, which have given the whisky its own unique flavours and aromas.
46% ABV
