GlenDronach Revival 15 Year (2009-2015)

Bottled 2015/05/12 = ~20 year old juice Nose - Dark stone fruits, dark toffee, orange zest, dark chocolate, hint of candied ginger. Taste - Nice thick/chewy mouthfeel, sweet dark stone fruits, hint of orange zest, candied ginger spice, dark chocolate covered dark toffee. Finish - Nice lingering dark stone fruity syrupy sweet, light ginger spice, candied orange peel, light fruity bitter orange pith. Score - 90/100 Final Thoughts - This was an interesting dram in that the first few pours I had from the bottle had a bit more bitter and off putting notes that somehow mysteriously disappeared when I poured this dram for review. I can see why people like this one as looking back on my notes, they are very similar to the GlenDronach 21 which might make sense because this particular bottling supposedly makes it a 20 year. I think this bottle needed a bit of air time & I'm glad I gave it a bit of air time before reviewing it because it has massively changed in just a few days of opening. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe, I value this around $80-90

Strong, lots of spice notes
