Sherry Masterclass - too much cask strength for my liking, but a brilliant experience
The GlenDronach Distillery的点评
点评：Arrived early, as did the other guests on the tour so were offered the opportunity to start 30 mins earlier, which we did.
The distillery is going through a huge transformation as the owners are investing heavily. Extensions to buildings, new and larger Machinery being put in (Mash Tuns, Washbacks etc) and a new visitors centre - all being built for 2026. We saw some of this in action but it didn’t disrupt the visit.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She explained well but was not condescending but also had a lot of historical stories, including the ghost of the ex-lover of the 1st owner. Anecdotes like this added to the trip.
We opted for the Sherry Masterclass. When booking we were aware we were getting better than the core range, but this turned out to be a double edged sword. We were given 4 drams of whisky (each bottle would cost approximately £200 so decent liquid), 1 of new make spirit and 2 Sherries - Olorosp and PX.
The order we tasted led to us drinking sweet and very sweet PX Sherry first then the whisky. I think this worked well, but 3 of the 4 drams were cask strength. One might be grateful, however all were very strong and, for me, I felt it would have been better to have a wider range. On the plus side, we got to taste the two bottle your own cask strength whiskies, that are currently being sold only on site.
After the tasting, which was well managed, we headed for the bar and had a small sip of the 15 from the core range.
(A side note - Glendronach have recently had a rebranding and a price increase - the latter being a shame - as it will cost quite a bit more to enjoy this whisky now).
All of the whiskies were very nice, the tour informative and the guide friendly. I think there are big things in store for this distillery.

翻译：我们和其他游客一样早到了，所以我们有机会提前 30 分钟开始，我们做到了。
由于业主投入巨资，酿酒厂正在经历巨大的变革。扩建建筑、安装新的大型机械（麦芽汁桶、洗涤器等）和新的游客中心 - 所有这些都将在 2026 年建成。我们看到了其中一些实际操作，但这并没有影响我们的参观。
我们的导游知识渊博，非常友好。她讲解得很好，但并不傲慢，还讲了很多历史故事，包括第一任主人的前情人的鬼魂。这样的趣闻轶事为这次旅行增添了色彩。
我们选择了雪利酒大师班。预订时，我们意识到我们得到的比核心系列更好，但这却是一把双刃剑。我们得到了 4 杯威士忌（每瓶大约 200 英镑，所以酒味还不错），1 杯新酿烈酒和 2 杯雪利酒 - Olorosp 和 PX。
我们品尝的顺序是先喝甜的和非常甜的 PX 雪利酒，然后喝威士忌。我觉得这个办法不错，但 4 杯中有 3 杯是原桶烈酒。人们可能会感激，但所有的酒都非常烈，对我来说，我觉得最好有更广泛的选择。从好的方面来说，我们品尝了两瓶自己的原桶烈酒，目前只在现场销售。
品尝会组织得很好，之后我们去了酒吧，小酌了 15 瓶核心系列的酒。
（附注 - Glendronach 最近进行了品牌重塑和价格上涨 - 后者很遗憾 - 因为现在享用这种威士忌要花很多钱）。
所有的威士忌都很棒，游览信息丰富，导游很友好。我认为这家酿酒厂前途无量。
