Glendronach distillery is a Scottish

BenRiach Distillery Company Ltd. The name Glendronach derives from the Scottish Gaelic
Gleann Dronach which means "valley of the brambles" or "valley of the blackberries".

History

The distillery was founded in 1826 by James Allardes (referred to often as Allardice) as the second distillery to apply for a licence to legally produce whisky under the Excise Act of 1823,

Glenfiddich
distillery, in 1920.

The distillery draws its water from the Dronac burn within the distillery grounds. It has its own floor maltings and two wash stills in addition to two spirit stills.

The distillery is protected as a category B listed building.[6]

In April 2016 Glendronach Distillery was purchased by the

Brown-Forman Corporation. The deal included BenRiach and Glenglassaugh distilleries.[7]

The core range of whiskies consists of expressions matured in ex-sherry casks, in particular oloroso and PX.[8]

The common exploration is 12 years, 15 years, 18 years, and 21 years.
