Glendronach 15 Year Old Revivial Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Six years after it was re-launched in 2009, Glendronach 15 had become one of the most re-purchased whiskies on our shelves. As the unequivocal bargain in its genre, worldwide demand outstripped supply and a three year drought made its absence keenly felt. Returning in 2018, supply could not keep up with demand and it disappeared again only to re-surface in late 2019. Sadly we expect supplies to be intermittent from now on.

As of 2016, Glendronach has been under the ownership of US corporate spirits giant, Brown Forman. Hence, the question on everyone's lips is whether the Revival would maintain the standard set by Billy Walker. Master Blender, Rachel Barrie released last year's 15 year old with the distillery's signature Spanish oak maturation, only this time in both Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks (the previous incarnation was 100% Oloroso). This latest release is again a PX and Oloroso maturation and it looks set to stay that way. Consequently, it's not quite fair to compare it to the older Revivals as the formula has changed.
