Glendronach 12 Year Old Traditional 1 Litre 1990s

Glendronach was built in 1826 by James Allardice, and rebuilt following a fire in 1852 by an individual named Walter Scott (although not the one you might be thinking of). It eventually passed into the hands of perhaps Scotland's greatest distilling dynasty, the Grant's of Glenfiddich. Charles, the youngest son of William Grant procured the then-silent distillery from the government in 1920, and it remained in the family until they sold it to Wm. Teacher 40 years later. The Grant's and Teacher's were early champions of the single malt category, and distillery bottlings of Glendronach were produced for most of the 20th century until it was mothballed by Allied Distillers in 1996. The distillery was revived in 2002, and has since become one of the strongest single malt brands in the world. 

In an effort to compete with the Classic Malts series from United Distillers (now Diageo), the similarly named company, Allied Distillers, launched the similarly named series, Caledonian Malts, in 1991 (three years after their competitor). Alongside a new label for the Laphroaig and Tormore 10 year olds was this, the Glendronach Traditional, a vatting of bourbon and sherry matured 12 year old malt.

The Traditional replaced the former duo of the Original and 100% Sherry Casks 12 year olds in the core range, with the latter becoming a 15 year old age statement instead.

When Glendronach re-opened in 2002, this was replaced by the return of the Original 12 year old.
