GlenDronach Revival 15 Year (2009-2015)

GlenDronach, you have yet to disappoint me! So much to enjoy here, from nose to finish, with the ex-oloroso being really obvious. There are notes of burnt sugar (almost molasses), raisins, and malted barley (almost like cookies). Wonderful stuff. Cheers!

If you are on a malt treasure hunt, watch out for the word 'discontinued'. GlenDronach 15 was easily the best whisky of the distillery's core range. The nose is overwhelmingly complex with balsamic vinegar, overripe berries, raisins, maraschino cherries and a touch of mint. A rich and powerful sherry arrival underscores the caliber of the casks used in maturation. Notes of coffee, dark chocolate, cinnamon and walnuts mingle with dried fruits, herbs and tannins. Substantial, savory and pleasantly spicy in the finish, this bottling is a real beauty of a single malt! RATING: 4.5/5.0 stars ≙ 91 pts → SUPERB
