GlenDronach Revival 15 Year (2009-2015)

Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Reviewed August 21, 2021 (edited August 22, 2024)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
I walked into my local liquor store looking to treat myself to something nice. Maybe some Japanese whisky, I had tried Hibiki Harmony a few years back and I've been wanting to revisit it since my palate has matured a bit. See I recently took a risk and changed careers and it did not work out for me, however whatever bad taste left in my mouth thinking about how I might have set myself back for posible growth in my previous industry I do feel a sense achievement as crazy as that might sound. I bet on myself and took it head on but like in life sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. But on this humid and rainy Saturday in Central FL I have won and in what way. I'm looking at the few Japanese expressions available in my local liquor store as my eyes drift down the isle I see this single 15 Revival bottle. I ran over and oponed it's carton container to make sure it was the real thing and it sure was, the last bottle on the shelf too. Easiest decision I've made in a while. "Ring me up cashier, I got somewhere to be". Since I tried the 12 year expression of Glendronach which a very much enjoyed I had been anxiously wanting try this one. The nose is unreal. Baked spices, sweet sherry cask influences but made rounder and fuller with dark chocolate notes. Some orange and a certain marshmallow sticky-ness crosses my mind. On the palate the extra three years on its younger brother really show, orange, more dark chocolate, the spices that really stood out on the 12 year old are really toned down and the extra time gives richness and character. The finish is of medium length with an orange note that I do not remember getting from it's younger brother. This is an incredibly well made scotch in my humble opinion. I also think although it's extremely interesting an nuanced it is also something that most scotch drinkers from beginners too aficionados will enjoy. I plan on spending more time with this gem of scotch and will later give this a proper review at a later time since I'm sure I will better understand the beauty of this juice as I get more acquainted. Cheers!
