On top of the recent news that GlenDronach whisky sales have soared since the launch of their new core range last year, GlenDronach have just annouced the forthcoming release of 4 new wood finishes.
This June they will launch of a series of GlenDronach wood finishes - Sauternes, Virgin Oak, Moscatel and Tawny Port.

William, good to hear that Glendronach is doing well, they certainly deserve it as i think the Glendronach 15 Revival (very aptly named) and the Glendronach 12 Double Cask are very good indeed. I wouldnt mind trying the new Port finish you mention.
You mention oodbins in the article but cant see any Glendronach in the malts or speyside category on the oddbins site. |

I agree Calder the new bottlings from the new owners are a big improvement from what used to come out of Glendronach.

If you visit Oddbins website then select Spirits > Whiisky you will find the GlenDronach 15 year old Revival or simply do a search for Glendronach, not sure why they havent got it listed under Malts > Speyside |

I was able to taste the new wood finishes yesterday. James Cowan had some cask samples, so they were higher strength than the actual bottles, but I've got a good idea after adding a few drops of water.
