GlenDronach Port Wood is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky produced by the GlenDronach distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands .
The whisky initially benefits from maturation in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks , two types of sherry emblematic of the GlenDronach style. It is then transferred to "Port pipes" from the Douro Valley in Portugal for a second maturation of 3 years .
This step is what makes this expression unique and is rooted in a historical tradition: in the 19th century, Port casks were transported from Portugal to Scotland, where they were used for storing and maturing spirits. GlenDronach is now revisiting this practice by combining its traditional sherry cask maturation with the influence of Port casks.
This double maturation process brings the total aging time to 10 years .
