Glendronach 1959/1960 Gordon and MacPhail Royal Marriage 1986

Glendronach was built in 1826 by James Allardice, and rebuilt following a fire in 1852 by an individual named Walter Scott (although not the one you might be thinking of). It eventually passed into the hands of perhaps Scotland's greatest distilling dynasty, the Grants of Glenfiddich. Charles, the youngest son of William Grant procured the then-silent distillery from the government in 1920, and it remained in the family until they sold it to Wm. Teacher 40 years later. The Grants and Teachers were early champions of the single malt category, and distillery bottlings of Glendronach were produced for most of the 20th century until it was mothballed by Allied Distillers in 1996. The distillery was revived in 2002, and has since become one of the strongest single malt brands in the world.

This is a bottle of Glendronach produced by Gordon & MacPhail to celebrate the marriage of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson which took place on 23rd July 1986. The whisky conations vintages from 1959 and 1960 as these are the birth years of the couple.
