Established in 1826 by James Allardice the Glendronach distillery was one of the first licensed distilleries in Scotland. The GlenDronach is borne of the landscape and natural ingredients that surround, from the soft Highland water drawn from the underwater springs in the Balnoon hills to the Scottish malted barley sourced from our trusted partners. The hallmark of the distillery is the marriage of robust Highland spirit with the finest Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucia in Spain. This exquisite duality brings exceptional depth, complexity, and character to their whiskies. The GlenDronach Port Wood is inspired by the historical import of casked port into Scotland during the 19th century. During the 1800s, port was ‘de rigueur’, and many of the finest port pipes would travel from Portugal, down its Douro River, destined for the wine cellars of Scotland’s gentry. Whilst many years have passed, Portugal’s majestic Douro Valley is still renowned for its exceptional port. The distillery has selected some of their finest port pipes to house The GlenDronach for a second maturation period of three years. Their Master Blender has expertly combined the whisky from these port pipes, to create a fruit-filled ten-year-old expression, with layers of ripe berries rolling into its signature long, lingering finish. This single malt has an intense cherry wood colour. Breathe in delightful waves of Victoria plum, bramble and strawberry jam with top notes of cherry blossom and honeysuckle on a base of sandalwood and ginger. Layers upon layers of rich fruits on the palate. Sip blackberry and roasted apple crumble with freshly baked gingerbread, developing into a baked orange and black cherry back-note. Savour orange peel, sultana and cherry cake lingering into the richly fruity finish.

Gold slivovitz is unique in the fruit brandy world, initially conceived of and to this day produced using traditional methods in the stronghold of Wallachian distilling industry, Vizovice. The basis of this beverage is classic clear slivovitz, which is then aged in specific conditions to imbue it with completely new and unexpected characteristics. In addition to classic clear slivovitz R. Jelínek's product portfolio also includes gold slivovitz with an aroma reminiscent of cognac and a harmonious fruit flavour with a distinctive woody undertone. This slivovitz acquires its gold colour and harmonious flavour from long-term ageing in casks made from Czech oak trees. The creation of gold slivovitz, a product hitherto unheard of in the Czech lands, was the result of cooperation between the Jelínek brothers and the French cognac producer Denis Mounié in 1923. His experience with the production of aged wine distillates enabled the creation of a production process that would bring the traditional fruit spirit closer to the world-famous cognac.
