Glendronach 21 Year Old Parliament 2020 Release Single Malt Whisky

Launched in 2011, Parliament is the 21 Year Old core range expression and takes its name from the community of rooks that have nested in the trees above the distillery for hundreds of years. It is matured using a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.
This is the 2020 release.
Glendronach distillery was closed between 1996 and 2001. This means that the versions of 21 Year Old expression bottled between 2016 and 2022 contained much older whisky than that.

    Nose:    A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits – notably blackberries and red plums. Rich Oloroso sherry and candied orange segments. Spiced oatmeal biscuits and toasted oak fragrances bring excellent weight and balance.

    Taste:    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 – cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Full bodied with smooth tannins.

    Finish:    Long and lingering.
