The GlenDronach 21 Year Old Parliament is a distinguished Highland single malt Scotch whisky, matured for a minimum of 21 years in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Bottled at 48% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and retains its natural color, offering a rich and complex profile that has earned it acclaim among whisky enthusiasts.
This is an older release, hence more expensive and more sought after.
Appearance: Deep amber with a cherry wood sheen.
Nose: A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits—blackberries and red plums—intertwined with rich Oloroso sherry, candied orange segments, spiced oatmeal biscuits, and toasted oak fragrances.
Palate: Full-bodied with resolute flavors of fine Oloroso sherry and bitter chocolate sauce over homemade plum pudding, infused with spicy notes of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
Finish: Long and lingering, with sherry tones leading to hints of chocolate, luscious fruit, and pepper.
Whisky Advocate: Rated 93 points
