Production of the Traditional Peated Highland Single Malt from Glendronach

The production of the Traditional Peated Highland Single Malt is a precise process that uses select ingredients. For this malt, Glendronach uses only the finest Scottish barley malt, which is kilned under special conditions to create its characteristic smoky note. The process begins with malting, during which the barley is soaked and allowed to germinate, followed by drying over peat fires.
Mashing takes place in traditional mash tuns, followed by fermentation in open wooden washbacks. Distillation is carried out in copper pot stills and ensures the optimal extraction of aromas.
The whisky is then matured in high-quality oak casks to further develop its complex flavor profile. Maturation takes place over several years, during which the whisky absorbs the aromas of the wood and merges into a harmonious whole.
