The GlenDronach 21 Year Old - Parliament
GlenDronach
Tasting Notes
This 21-year-old GlenDronach, named "Parliament" after the group of rooks residing near the distillery, is a true gem crafted from a harmonious blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The nose captivates with soft smoke, lemon zest, cedar wood, and an enticing medley of apple peel, toasted oak, earthy notes, and hints of date-walnut cake and freshly brewed espresso. On the palate, it unfolds a delightful symphony of golden syrup, juicy raisins, tangy oak, peach, cherry blossom, cocoa, and honeydew melon. The finish lingers with sherry tones, a whisper of sulphur, chocolate, luscious fruit, and a peppery kick, leaving a lasting impression. This Parliament of flavors, carefully aged for over two decades, is a true testament to GlenDronach's mastery of sherry cask maturation, offering a rich and indulgent experience.
