Glen Garioch Distillery
Bottled on 29/01/2018 shown on the bottle with the Billy Walker signature on the tube.
The GlenDronach Distillery was mothballed / closed between 1996 to 2002. This 21 year old was bottled on 29/01/2018 when it was thought some younger whisky was added to older whisky to continue production at this time.
Matured in a combination of the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for a minimum of 21 years, non-chill filtered with natural colour and bottled at 48%, the ‘Parliament’ continues the great GlenDronach tradition of offering fruit laden intensity in its single malts.
This rich expression has been named ‘Parliament’ after the colony of rooks that have been nesting in the trees that overlook the GlenDronach distillery for almost 200 years.
Nose: A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits, blackberries and red plums. Rich oloroso sherry and candied orange segments. Spiced oatmeal biscuits and toasted oak fragrances bring excellent weight and balance.
Palate: Resolute flavours of fine Oloroso sherry and bitter chocolate sauce, which has been spread liberally over homemade plum pudding. This is all infused with fabulous spicy notes of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Full bodied with smooth tannins.
Finish: Long and lingering.
