GlenDronach Revival 15 Year (2018 Re-Release)

The nose starts with a light sourness before fading to a mix of figs, sugar cookies and pipe tobacco then cocoa powder dusted prunes and toasted walnuts followed by plums, apricots and lychee that transitions to light florals, leather and black tea leaves with light ethanol burn. The taste is a thin to medium mouthfeel starting with creamy orchard fruits before a mild spice that quickly fades to pipe tobacco, cocoa powder dusted prunes and espresso followed by candied ginger, plums, and lychee that transitions to vanilla seeds, toasted walnuts, leather and light ashy oak with light ethanol burn. The finish is medium length with a spicy mocha, figs, toasted marshmallow, lychee, cloves and light ashy oak. A tasty dram that is very approachable with minimal alcohol found on the nose with a balanced mix of dark berries, citrus, tobacco, chocolate and light spices that carries over to the palate with an acceptable mouthfeel with a mild spice and coffee before a finish that emphasizes the spicy earth notes with the fruits and sweets in the background. At around $90, these seem fairly priced and would likely be a great choice for anyone looking for a quality sherried scotch. Thanks @ContemplativeFox for the generous sample.
