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.
I'm not a fan of messing around malts with mixed cask finishes. So this although a bit heavy and coarse is still simply a great malt and well worth what I paid for it at Loch Fyne Whiskies - £64. I'm in agreement with many but not all (I'm not that good) of the tasting notes above. I look forward to playing with it through the winter months. Well worth a try. JMC
such a mouth filler so many tastes superb.
N: Aah, huge all raisin sherry nose. Its thick, buttery, nutty, theres a touch of wood varnish, burned orange, prunes and sugar. T: Vibrant salivating sherry wine delivery, very deep and rich in flavour with sweet caramel sugars overlapping one another. F: Theres another sherry wave before a touch of bitter oak wood, coffee caramels, figs, oranges and thick prune juice, finishing with a bitter chocolate sherry liqueur and a breath of fresh licourice spices. After a few wonderful drams over a few days, this bottle isn't taking to well to oxidisation. Its become dense like a party fruit punch and overly thick with an over abundance of sherry and prune juice. C: Simple and vibrant and yet displaying a lot of maturity, more than its 21 years in places. This is a rich sherry monster with a soft centre but after a few drams it also becomes arduous and over stewed, delightfully rich but also a tad laborious. Save this for an occasional tipple and enjoy the 15 Revival as an everyday drinker. Scores a B jazzpianofingers
Fabulous dark sherry colour and spice not,great Christmas malt with complexity and length. Yum
I have been on a recent kick for sherried scotch and the 21 year old Parliament is simply amazing. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
