Насыщенный хересный Glendronach в стиле олоросо — тёмные фрукты, шоколад, кожа, кофе; хвалят за элегантность и баланс, главное расхождение опытных — избыточная резкость (жар алкоголя) и вопрос цены.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминирует выраженный херес: изюм, чернослив, финики, тушёные тёмные фрукты, апельсин, корица и гвоздика, а также кожа, молочный шоколад, мокко и кофе, местами старый благородный дуб, намекающий на бочки постарше. Вкус маслянистый, обволакивающий, сладкий (тёмный сахар, ирис, засахаренные фрукты, рождественский кекс), к середине становится суше и прянее с ноткой обжаренного эспрессо и шоколада. Послевкусие долгое, сладость к концу подсыхает, дуб присутствует, но горчит умеренно, с чертами олоросо — лакрица, кожа, кофе. Хвалят чистоту, отточенность и баланс, при котором дуб и пряности не забивают фруктовость; при прямом сравнении многие ставят его выше 15-летнего Revival как более чистый и элегантный, хотя Revival считают выгоднее по цене.
Оценки согласованны и держатся в узком коридоре 85–91, так что образец воспринимается ровно. Самые опытные ревьюеры настроены чуть сдержаннее (86–88) и точнее формулируют слабые места: заметный жар и алкогольная резкость в начале, требующая времени в бокале, лёгкая горечь дуба, а у части — сомнения в оправданности цены, поскольку штатные Revival и Allardice сопоставимы; отмечают и следы серы, безобидные для большинства, но способные помешать чувствительным. Менее опытные авторы, ставящие более высокие баллы (90–91), делают упор на свежесть, воздушность и питкость без приторности. Расхождение сводится к тому, что новички хвалят лёгкость и баланс, тогда как опытные, признавая класс, придираются к жару и соотношению цены и качества.

A great malt! It would be better in my opinion, if the sherry would take a little more back ...

Elegant The GlenDronach 16 Year Old Platinum is a little known release from this Speysider which, next to a general release, also saw a special release for Germany, Taiwan and South Africa. Thanks to The Bonding Dram, I get to taste the latter one. It was launched in 2012. It is quite different from the 15 years old Revival. Much sweeter on the nose on butterscotch and cinnamon, while plums, raisins and dades are certainly there. But it is much cleaner, if you know what I mean. Some Café Frappé, mocha and hints of leather and fresh cherries. Some stewed apples with clear hints of milk chocolate. I quite like this. It is oily, round and mouth coating. Wonderfully sweet on candied sugar, toffee, mokatine and Christmas cake. Dried fruit. Milk chocolate. Less dirty than the Revival and very elegant. The finish is long with a nice spiciness with just a touch of bitterness from the oak. While this one is more interesting that the Revival or even the Allardice, it’s price tag will lead me towards those two first, though. But what a great GlenDronach indeed.

Wow. Better than a 21-year-old Parliament bottled 2022. I just compared them side by side.

Heavily and beautifully sherried, with majestic old oak notes – one suspects older casks in the mix. |

Feisty, but otherwise excellent. Jammy, chocolate-y, deep, dark and polished. Really quite hot, though! |

Quite long, with flawless Oloroso characteristics. Leather, licorice, chocolate, coffee. Only the notable heat still bothers me a bit. |

Invigorating and refreshing sherry whisky, light, airy, almost not sweet, perfectly balanced, with a wide palette of derivatives and good depth.

He is a little bit alcoholic at the beginning. Needs time in the glass. Then he develops very fantastically. Nice musty earthy note through the deep heavy sherry. Very full and sweet. PX?

This is a great balanced fruity butterscotchy but not over sherried Glendronach, the oak and spice play a role but let the rest shine. Very well done

Nose, mouth and finish harmonize again a Glendronach with alcohol little but you have them at always welcomed Dram

tried this one with the 15yo Revival head to head: while both have the rich Oloroso sherry character, the 16yo is cleaner, fruitier (prunes, raisins, cherry), smoother, more polished and elegant while the 15yo Revival shows more the nutty, mushroomy and wet forest profile. Both are very complex. In regards of taste I prefer the 16yo, while the 15yo is the better value for your money.

Substantial Dronach for a fair retail price. Like it better than the 15, great abv. @48%. Probably older casks involved, too, as was quite common back then due to distillery shutdown from mid 1996 to early 2002. Recommended. Points adjusted to 90 in 2025. Better in balance and overall expression than some 199x single casks of over 20 years. Also seems on par with many but the best 21 Parliaments of its time.

An intense sherry character par excellence. The nose is still relatively restrained, on the palate unfolds then all sherry clothing with dark fruit and herbs. Get in the process of a proper oak accentuation, as similar, as one also knows from the Parliament.

Nose: Distinct sherry. Raisins, prunes and dates. Spicy with cinnamon and cloves. Perhaps some baked/stewed fruit. Hints of leather, chocolate and perhaps some coffee. Taste: Sweet. Demarera sugar and sweet dried fruits. A bit of toffee. Becomes more dry and and spicy. Christmas cake. Hard roasted espresso coffee. Chocolate. Finish: The sweetness stays into the finish that dries out towards the end. Medium to long. Lovely and warm. The oak is present, but not too bitter at all. A very nice sherried whisky. Hints of sulphur but nothing that spoils the event for me. Beware if you are sulphur sensitive. Not worth the money at todays prices since the Glendronach standard bottlings can match this one (Revival and Allerdice). Time in the glass helps this one. Reduces the sulphur note, enhances the sweetness and removes the small alcohol bite it has at first.
