Specifically made with global travel retail (GTR) in mind, Glendronach has debuted The Glendronach House Editions, a trio of single malts inspired by different cities.

The series was developed by Glendronach Master Blender Dr. Rachel Barrie, and includes The Sevillian Room, The Venetian Room, and The Parisian Room. They will join the 10 and 16 year old expressions already in Glendronach's GTR-exclusive range.

The brand said the series draws inspiration from the lavish gatherings hosted by brand founder James Allardice, where guests traded stories of their global adventures. Having been in development for more than two years, the launch also celebrates the distillery’s 200th anniversary this year.

The Seville Room

This expression was matured in Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez (PX), and Palo Cortado casks.

Bottled at 43% ABV, the whisky is said to present notes of Seville orange, honeysuckle, toasted oak, aged leather and Mediterranean spices. On the palate, it should have flavours of Manuka honey, roasted nuts, olive oil-drizzled tostadas and cinnamon-spiced blood orange marmalade, all of which are said to be reminiscent of Seville’s vibrant markets.

The Venetian Room

Matured in Oloroso, PX, and Amarone casks, this whisky is bottled at 46% ABV.

On the nose, the brand has said it has notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, dates and cocoa, layered with amaretti and a dusting of vanilla spice. Flavours of honeyed red plum, almond liqueur, maraschino cherry, chocolate-coated hazelnut and Black Forest gateau follow on the palate.

The Parisian Room 

This single malt comes in at 49% ABV, and uses both oloroso and PX casks alongside Cognac casks from an undisclosed French producer.

It is said to offer a scent of honeyed grape, plum and apple tarte Tatin, alongside elderflower, warm musk and Sherried raisin. On the palate, one should get notes of baked fig, glazed walnut and medjool dates, with flavours of peach, crème au citron croissant and rose.

The series will first be available in major European airports (Paris and Frankfurt) in July, with Singapore, Seoul, Delhi and Dubai to follow. A full international activation will be rolled out by October 2026.

The Sevillian Room will be sold in a one-litre bottle while the Venetian and Parisian editions will come in 700ml bottles. They will have an MSRP of £70/US$90, £80/US$105 and £90/US$125 respectively.
