The Glendronach Aged 40 Years
A three-cask marriage of exceptional casks from 1978, 1983, and 1984, this 40-year-old is as grand as you’d expect. And Members of The Whisky Club get first dibs.

Nose Black cherry, stewed plum and blackberry, layered with sherry-soaked chocolate gateau and roasted coffee
Palate Blackcurrant and bramble compote, luscious prune and raisins, interwoven with velvety cinnamon-spiced ginger dark chocolate
Overview
This 40-year-old release from The Glendronach is a dram that can “stand up to Macallan’s best” (per The Robb Report). Not only is it absolutely delicious; it’s the first 40-year-old age statement Glendronach ever, outside of a few (very rare, increasingly expensive) single casks.
Married together from just three casks, this is on another level. In Dr Rachel Barrie’s own words: “The rarity is off the scale, this is a cask from 1978, 1983, and a cask from 1984… a perfect 40-year-old”. That deep, almost black velvet colour shows the sort of darkness and richness you only find in a four-decade-old single malt, and we’re drooling over it. The colour is natural of course, and the bottles have been non-chill filtered.
It's with thanks to our longstanding friendship with Dr Rachel Barrie and the Glendronach team that we’re here to offer Club Members the chance to be the first in Australia to get their hands on a bottle.
Note that bottle numbers are strictly limited. Please register your expression of interest with our in-house luxury whisky concierge Gail today.
