{"product_id":"glendronach-15-year-sherry-cask","title":"Glendronach 15 Year Sherry Cask - 700 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis benchmark sherried Highland single malt Scotch whisky originates from the Valley of Forgue near Huntly, Aberdeenshire, produced at The GlenDronach Distillery (established in 1826 by James Allardice). Historically celebrated as the legendary \"Revival\" bottling, The GlenDronach 15 Year Old showcases the distillery’s mastery of dual Spanish sherry wood maturation. Distilled from unpeated malted barley using traditional copper pot stills, the spirit matures for a minimum of 15 years in traditional dunnage warehouses in an assemblage of premier Spanish Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks sourced from Andalucía. Bottled at 46.0% ABV (92 proof) in a standard 700 ml bottle, it is non-chill filtered and presented with its natural, cask-imparted mahogany color without any added caramel coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpirit Description\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis single malt displays a radiant antique-gold hue with deep walnut and mahogany reflections, forming slow, viscous tears along the glass. On the nose, it offers an immediate, intoxicating burst of rich sherry fruit and warming spice: aromas of maraschino cherries, ripe brambleberries, and dark plum compote mingle with sweet Spanish brandy, wild honey, dark chocolate, and roasted chestnuts. Underlying notes of orange zest, fresh mint leaf, and antique walnut wood add aromatic complexity. On the palate, the 46.0% ABV delivery is velvety, rich, and deeply mouth-coating. Flavors of dark treacle, sticky toffee, and stewed figs roll across the tongue, counterbalanced by mid-palate notes of dried apricot, cracked black pepper, cinnamon bark, and bitter cocoa nibs. The dry, nutty tannins of the Oloroso wood provide structure and grip against the luscious, unctuous sweetness of the Pedro Ximénez casks. The finish is remarkably long, warm, and lingering, trailing off with impressions of honeyed dark fruit, espresso, toasted oak spices, and rich dark chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccolades\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GlenDronach 15 Year Old holds an esteemed position among whisky connoisseurs and critics worldwide.
