Glendronach – 15 Year Old Revival (70cl, 46%)

Glendronach – 15 Year Old Revival is a whisky from Glendronach (Highlands). Aged 15 years, bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. In 1826 the exuberant and extroverted James Allardice, along with a consortium of local farmers, founded the distillery and began producing his “Guid GlenDronach” single malt. Unfortunately Allardice’s marketing strategy of offering free drams to Edinburgh’s “ladies of night”, coupled with a fire at the distillery in 1837, led to him declaring bankruptcy. Thankfully however, the story doesn’t end there... The distillery was rebuilt by Walter Scott in 1852, and although it has changed hands several times over the years (and was even mothballed between 1996 and 2000), it continues today; a firm favourite of Sherry Heads everywhere. This is the ‘revived’ Revival - the 15 Year Old was brought back from the dead for a second time in 2018, with the slight difference that the whisky has been aged in PX and Oloroso casks, as opposed to just Oloroso.
