The Glendronach Ode to the Embers 48.4% 700ml

A lightly peated single malt from Glendronach here! Paying tribute to the traditional methods of kilning malt with peat smoke, the whisky matured in a combo of oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks bringing rich layers of stewed fruit sweetness and spice to the gentle smoke at its core.

“Ode to the Embers cloaks warm and rich spice in smouldering wisps of smoke, speaking of the days of old at The Glendronach Distillery”.

Buckle up for a tall order of cinnamon spiced toffee, caramelised walnut brittle, blackberry ganache and smoked chocolate fudge, executed to perfection by Dr Rachel. Taking first-fill Sherry casks for the majority of this cask filling, she’s created a oozing, fudgey and smoky single malt in the classic Glendronach style that’s set them as world-famous Sherry cask connoisseurs. 2025’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition judges were just as impressed as we are, handing this humdinger Double Gold just last month.

Glendronach collectors and Sherry cask lovers, take note – it's coming to you non-chill filtered, natural in colour and at a sumptuous 48.4% ABV.
