The GlenDronach Parliament Aged 21 Years Review
Matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks, The GlenDronach 21 shows an attractive, prominent sherry influence throughout. You may expect a darker color from a scotch of this age, but its golden amber hue points us towards the bright life that remains in the whisky. The nose is very expressive with rich bramble fruit. On the palate, expect rich baking spices followed by a sweet sherry finish. Spend some time with this in glass and enjoy its evolution.
