In the mouth: Big, oily GlenDronach – those fat stills doing their thing. It echoes the nose perfectly: the lighter end of the dried fruits, sultanas and apricots, with a lovely ginger warmth just underneath. Gooey salted caramel. A few cereal notes: not especially malty, but pleasant. Crème brûlée, burnt toffee (just a fraction) with a few herbal notes. Put the finer details aside, it’s just ridiculously drinkable. The flavours are so well defined, the layers of complexity pleasant though not intellectually overwhelming. Long, lovely finish of orange marmalade and cinnamon. I could drink lots of this… Conclusions For gift wrapping and engraving services please visit https://www.thewhiskycompany.com.au/engraving-gift-wrapping/ In flavour, the expression offers sumptuous notes of dark fruits, rich chocolate and manuka honey with an enveloping, memorable finish worthy of this monumental malt's history.

Things were going very well, but two key events over the next few years saw ownership of the distillery change hands and Allardice eventually losing his share in GlenDronach. The first was a fire in February 1837 that practically burned the distillery to the ground. Business suffered after the fire and some of the original partners retired, thereby opening the door for Walter Scott, former clerk and then distillery manager at Teaninich to become a new and equal partner of Allardice. The distillery was repaired, and business continued to flourish until the financial crisis of 1842 left Allardice bankrupt. The remaining partners bought his share and Walter Scott took the reins. The distillery flourished under his stewardship, expanding significantly between 1860 – 1880 and selling more whisky than any other distillery in Scotland during that time.

Brown sugar, cola spice, dark fruit, cocoa, hazelnut, banana, sherry sweetness, vanilla frosting and a bit of malt and citrus. Previous batch tasted... Deep burnished copper colour. An amazing sherry influenced bouquet, instantly seduces with a powerful fresh honey and toast lift; develops heavier fruit marmalade-like scents emerge with an amalgam of spices... Time in the glass yields richer notes of nougat and caramel. Almost as generous on the palate; decadent malt - richly infused with honey and spice, the initial sweet burst beautifully counterpointed by drying oak. Finishes long and warming with delicate dried apricot and spice. A must try - even if just to experience the remarkable aromatics. 94 points We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates.

Known as “the sleeping giant”, GlenDronach is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries and only the second to be granted a license to produce whisky after the Excise Act of 1823. James Allardice, a remarkable and extroverted man who loved a drink and a good time, founded the distillery on the Boynsmill Estate in 1826. It’s believed that illicit distillation had actually been taking place at the estate for years before the excise act was passed, but this was undetected thanks to an ingenious alarm system in the form of a colony of rooks nesting in the trees, which would create a hell of a commotion when disturbed… an excellent warning system for the approach of Customs & Excise agents.

In flavour, the expression offers sumptuous notes of dark fruits, rich chocolate and manuka honey with an enveloping, memorable finish worthy of this monumental malt’s history. This luxuriously sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is bottled at 46% ABV, and natural in colour. Our Tasting Notes A resurrection of the original 15 Year Old “100% Sherry Casks” that was hugely popular in the 1990s, the GlenDronach 15 Year Old Revival is bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered and of natural colour. It’s fully matured in Oloroso sherry puncheons, giving it a deep gold colour with a lovely mahogany heart. These high quality sherry casks are vital in producing an incredible concentration of aromas and flavours including chocolate orange, raisins, dates, coffee and treacle. Adding to this, the mashing water for GlenDronach comes from the Balnoon Burn, an underground water source high in mineral content, which leads to a full-bodied whisky that is rich in flavour. It’s a gorgeous single malt. It’s a lovely, lovely whisky indeed. This is warming, classy, charming – and should appeal to a broad spectrum of drinkers. Is it the same as the last? No. Is it better? Don’t care, can’t remember. This is a hoot.Irrespective of what I type, many of you – those hardcore GlenDronach fans especially – will have already made up their minds on this whisky. You’ll almost definitely say it wasn’t as good as the original from several years ago, and that’s fine. But it’s not my point today.

With The GlenDronach 15 Year Old Revival, the cult favorite, sherry-happy distillery has reintroduced its decade and a half old, single malt expression that’s been aged in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalucía, Spain, to the market to much acclaim . The winner of a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco Spirits Awards in 2018, it seems that the guidance of master blender Rachel Barrie and new ownership blood has paid off.

All of the above almost sounds to good to be true, but it is. Firstly because numbers don’t lie, and secondly because it was confirmed to Bert Rutkowski during a visit to the distillery in the summer of 2013.

Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. To conclude the original article, I wrote “ Let’s just hope that in a couple of years, when they can finally release whiskies with accurate age statements, they are able to produce the same top quality as they do now.” That hope doesn’t seem to have come to fruition. Sure, some of the single cask releases are still top notch, but also priced pretty much out of everybody’s range. As far as the more affordable releases go: the latest Glendronach Cask Strength Batch #9 was underwhelming. Dry spice first with clove, white pepper, and a little nutmeg, more walnut, lots of wine influence, dark chocolate, clotted cream, honey, hints of earthiness, spicy oak. With water, more nuttiness and some additional baking spice.

Whisky reviews for Glendronach 15-year-old

This cookie is set by Rubicon Project to control synchronization of user identification and exchange of user data between various ad services. GlenDronach Revival was the perfect name for a brand that completely reinvented itself under the guidance of Billy Walker. As the brand matured and eventually sold to Brown-Forman, the quality of the distillery’s products remains a talking point despite what I think has been a relatively consistent product line over the past five years. GlenDronach Revival is a bit unbalanced with a bit too much sherry dominance for my preferences and I found just a touch of rubber on the nose of this release. With that said, it’s a popular release among whisky fans for a reason and will satisfy the craving for lovers of heavily sherried whisky.
