Tasting Notes

Nose

Instant Christmas cake and heavily sherried fruits, muscovado sugar, toffee, zingy chocolate orange, old leather – like an old brief case, polish and quite oily.

Subtle hints of peat appear if you look closely , usually after a bottle is half finished and sat for a few weeks.

Palate

Very rich, fruity oil, lots of treacle, toffee, dark chocolate, coffee, muscovado sugar, toasted oak and nuts with dried winter fruits. More dark chocolate and old leather, a decent amount of spice and cloves, hints of cinnamon and sugary honey.

Finish

Quite long and lingering, wood spices with an orange tang, complex, more Christmas cake, dried dates and raisins. Big and bold wood influence.

Overall

A seriously good whisky for the original price (£43 approx), if you see this in your local whisky bar and it’s not a crazy price, we highly recommend getting yourself a dram.

Very difficult to find in retail shops but expect to pay upwards of £200 or variable prices at auction, from £140 - £200. The new Glendronach 15 is due for release in 2018, we can only hope that it’s as good as the Revival.
