A 21 year old Glendronach released in 2011, and aged in a mix of sherry casks (Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez dessert sherry). The result is really very good indeed. Interestingly enough, this whisky has no political associations. It is, in fact, named "Parliament" after the collective term for a group of rooks - and there is a Parliament of Rooks living in the trees near GlenDronach...
Please note: We're afraid we can't guarantee which vintage you will receive. It'll still be yummy GlenDronach no matter the vintage, mind!
Soft smoke and lemon juice, cedar wood, apple peel, toasty oak, soft earth, date and walnut cake and a hint of freshly made espresso.
Golden syrup, soft, juicy raisins, tangy oak notes, peach, cherry blossom, cocoa and honeydew melon.
Sherry tones lead the finish, with a hint of sulphur, chocolate, luscious fruit and pepper.
Had a few drams in The Grill Bar Aberdeen last night. Lovely, lovely drop
Palate - "Cherry Blossom" Get a grip guys, unless there are a few cherry blossom munchers in the team.
this is probably one if the best scotches I have ever tasted. I have enjoyed a wide variety of close to 200 different bottles and this one sticks out. It smells inviting giving mentors of dates, coffee, chocolate, some spices like vanilla and nutmeg.. and a wiff of smoke. It elegantly coats your mouth like a light syrup and tastes of tootsie roll, fudge, some honeydew and cinnamon comes around. caramel and chocolate are a definite friend here. The finish is smooth and lasting with some smoke and espresso flavours and finishing with dark chocolate. Absolutely sublime. Where I live this bottle was on a limited release only, and costing almost $150. I bought one for a special occasion withmy father. As soon as we tried it when're we had to go out and buy more immediately before it was all sold out. I now own three and I can't wait to drink them. Truely an amazing dram.
Purchased from Loch Fyne whisky shop. I find very nice for this time of year......lovely dark colour from the sherry. Definitely a sip and saver malt. I will be back for more. SP
I needed to add a little water to this to calm down the heat are reveal more flavour, the alcohol does make it very warm. The tasting notes from MofM are spot on, especially the very light smoke on the nose, very pleasant and comforting. The immediate taste is of baked oak and warm syrup with a long, sherry and fruit finish. It's is a slightly more complex taste than the Revival 15 but I like both very much. The Revival 15 (absolute bargain right now at £38 !!) is perhaps more robust and easy drinking but the Parliament is very nice indeed, it's all down to personal taste and both are exceptionally good drams for the price. Glendronach is my current favourite distillery, they are producing so much good Whisky I feel very fortunate ! Thank you to all who work there.
