Brown-Forman Unveils the Glendronach in India
Brown-Forman has introduced The Glendronach ’s core range of Highland single malts to India, bringing the Aged 12 Years, 15 Years, and 18 Years expressions to the market. Founded in 1826 in Scotland’s “Valley of Brambles,” The Glendronach has long been recognised for its commitment to sherry cask maturation, creating whiskies defined by depth, structure, and richly layered character. Crafted in the rugged north-east Highlands of Scotland , the whiskies are matured predominantly in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks sourced from Andalucía, Spain.
