This lot failed to meet its reserve.
In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice, along with a consortium of local farmers, founded the distillery and began producing his "Guid GlenDronach" single malt. Unfortunately Allardice's marketing strategy of offering free drams to Edinburgh's "ladies of night", coupled with a fire at the distillery in 1837, led to him declaring bankruptcy.
Thankfully however, the story doesn't end there...
The distillery was rebuilt by Walter Scott in 1852 and - although it has changed hands several times over the years (and was even mothballed between 1996 and 2000) - it continues today; a firm favourite of Sherry Heads everywhere.
This 25 Year Old was first bottled in 1993 for the USA, the story of this particular batch of 1968 is an extra special one. Some of the original stock was sold in the USA in 1993; the remainder (including this bottle) was 'lost' for 10 years.
