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

Glendronach – Revival 15 Year Old is a single malt whisky from Glendronach (Highland). Aged 15 years, bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. Matured in oloroso & PX sherry casks. The original sherry-casked Glendronach 15-year-old was one of the distillery's most popular expressions before its closure in 1996. Launched in 2009, the Revival was no less well-loved, and the news in 2015 that it was to be discontinued was met with much dismay. The distillery's mothballing between 1996 and 2001 meant that the maturing stock in the warehouses eventually ran too thin to sustain it. Aptly named though, the Revival reappeared in September 2018. Although they are packaged as the same product, this and its predecessor are subtly different whiskies. While the older release was matured exclusively in oloroso sherry casks, the revived expression is a combination of oloroso and Pedro Ximénez matured whisky. A malt distillery located in Forgue by Huntly in the eastern Highland region. As of 2016 it is American-owned by the Brown-Foreman Corporation through its Benriach Distillery Company subsidiary. Famed for its preference for sherry cask-ageing, it has long been an established single malt brand.
