GlenDronach Revival 15 Year (2009-2015)

Okay this is a macho dram. I should have taken it with a couple water drops but i didn't. On the nose it is gentle, and maybe uninteresting at first. Plum is present, sherry, grapy aromas become more perfumed as it rests in the glass. After a while nosing it i got raisings with chocolate like the ones you buy in the movies. After tasting it once, i also noticed vanilla. On the palate, it is a whole different story. Very strong, very hot and spicy. Oak, wood, nuts and red chilli is present. It is a hot dram, full bodied and not very gentle. The finish is strong but medium long. It is my type of whisky and i recognize it as a good dram that most people will enjoy. A lot of character and power. 89/100.

Fruit upfront - aromas of raspberry gum. After a tipple or two, notes of ripe strawberry on the nose. The palate is of apricots, raisins, and red fruits - raspberries - flowing with honeyed mead. A tad creamy. Fruitier and sweeter than the 12. A must-have. My Rating Glossary: Two Stars: "I'd rather be drinking lite beer." Two 1/2 Stars: "Posh rubbish." Three Stars: "I love whisk(e)y. This is average love." Three 1/2 Stars: "May buy again." Four Stars: "I've got to get you into my life." Four 1/2 Stars: "Better than drugs." Five Stars: "Life is good. Whisky makes it better."
