GlenDronach Revival 15 Year (2009-2015)

Very aromatic and solid dram. Sherry bomb with smell of chocolate and cocoa

I believe this is the revival of the revival so it’s easier to get now. Delicious, punchy Sherry bomb with everything you could wish for - deep oak and dark fruit. 94

Malty sweet nose, cherries, brown sugar, somewhat subtle nutty smell. Oily mouthfeel with an instant hit of sweetness with a full mouth spice gradually building into the finish. Finish is medium long with a slight burn down the hatch, which dissipates into fruity sweetness again. These flavors linger on the back of the tongue until the next sip. Favorite thing about this is the Sherry sweetness combined with the burn, both coming and going synchronously to create a great drinking experience.

Fantastic! This GD15 was bottled in 2013 and, since GD was mothballed from 1996-2001, this is a minimum of 17-18 years old. This one is all about the mouthfeel - its incredibly rich and syrupy but not cloyingly so; it travels evenly across the palate and has a long warming finish. The flavors are deliciously melded together - a combo of dark chocolate, toffee, toasty oak, tangerine, bing cherry, roasted almonds, candied ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Can’t speak to the new GD15 but this one is wonderful!
