The GlenDronach Distillery, the historic Highland producer of Single Malt Scotch Whisky, and Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., the California--based award--winning artisanal creamery, have formed a partnership to bring consumers a unique Scotch and cheese pairing experience for the holidays.

​

This pairing features the renowned producer’s flagship expression, The GlenDronach Original Aged 12 Years, which epitomizes the distillery’s unyielding dedication to mastering sherry cask maturation. Aged in fine Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucía in Spain, this richly sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky presents smooth vanilla, soft fruits, and a memorably long, nutty finish, for which it has become renowned.

​

From Point Reyes, the White Cheddar was chosen as the perfect pairing for The GlenDronach 12. Aged for one year, it is complex, creamy--yet--sharp, and has a delicious sweetness that flawlessly complements the rich, sherry sweetness of the whisky. The combined depth of flavor creates a balanced upfront taste experience with a burst of spice on the finish.

​

“Our White Cheddar partners just beautifully with The GlenDronach 12 -- it’s an unforgettable pairing and an absolute stunner for any holiday gathering, even if you’re celebrating as a party of two,” said Lynn Giacomini Stray, Co--Owner of Point Reyes Farmstead.

​

“The GlenDronach is known for its rich and robust profile. They use cheese pairings to showcase the full spectrum of flavors in this Single Malt Scotch Whisky. We cannot think of a better partner than Point Reyes, which is known for its quality, artisanal cheeses,” said Greg King, Senior Brand Ambassador for The GlenDronach. “With ReserveBar’s reach, our Scotch and cheese selection will elevate holiday entertaining and gifting this season.”
