A 21 year old Glendronach released in 2011, and aged in a mix of sherry casks (Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez dessert sherry). The result is really very good indeed. Interestingly enough, this whisky has no political associations. It is, in fact, named “Parliament” after the collective term for a group of rooks – and there is a Parliament of Rooks living in the trees near GlenDronach…

Probably the best whisky I have ever tasted. Beats the Macallan 18 and 25 and is much cheaper
This version brings out Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez dessert sherry flavours, quite well. I’m a sucker for a great whiskey with these cask finishes and this version does not disappoint. But for a Highland region to put out such a good whiskey is rare, in my opinion. Give it a try, you might just keep in in your liquor cabinet for a special occasion, like i did.
I am now a believer. The Glendronach Parliament is one of my favourite whisky’s of all time. I think it punches well above its weight in this bracket and I enjoyed drinking it more than the Macallan 18 Sherry cask which is now my second favourite of all time. Do yourself a favour and get a bottle as it is simply amazing.
