Detailed Description
The revived Glendronach Revival: a whisky whose original incarnation was so popular that we drank all of it. It’s back with a new recipe thanks to master blender Rachel Barrie, combining both oloroso and PX casks into a rich sherry-monster that’s packed with spice and fruit. We don’t think it’s going to disappear of the shelves again, but when it comes to Glendronach 15 Year Old, we always recommend stocking up.
Glendronach 15 Year Old Revival Sherry Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Fruit cake for grown-ups: not too sweet, thanks to softly singed raisins, and solidly soaked in bittersweet dark rum. Baked apples with plump raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon sit to the side, studded with glacée cherries and juicy sultanas.
Palate: Rich, thick and packed with juicy-but-dried fruit ‚Äì rum-soaked raisins, prunes and a touch of chopped date. Nutmeg and cinnamon sit underneath along with sticks of black liquorice. It’s more savoury than the nose suggests, focusing on fruit cake and bitter dark chocolate.
Finish: Long and dry with gentle warm spice.
