GlenDronach Aged 21 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Product Description

GlenDronach Aged 21 Years: A New Chapter for a Core Classic

GlenDronach Aged 21 Years is the 2025 relaunch of the distillery's revered 21-year-old expression, previously known as "Parliament," a name retired in 2024 after years as a benchmark sherry-forward Highland single malt. This release marks the debut of GlenDronach's reimagined ultra-premium packaging, developed through a creative collaboration with acclaimed Scottish photographer and director Rankin, and sits alongside new 30 and 40-year-old expressions as part of the distillery's refreshed core lineup. Master Blender Rachel Barrie describes it as "a graceful and distinguished dram, showcasing extraordinary harmony and depth."

How GlenDronach Aged 21 Years Is Made

Rachel Barrie hand-selected Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks from Andalusia, Spain, each aged a minimum of 21 years, to craft this bottling. GlenDronach's traditional, full sherry cask maturation, rather than a brief finishing step, is what gives this whisky its signature depth and opulence. It's bottled at 48% ABV with natural color.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Blackberries, plums, dark chocolate, and honey, with an undercurrent of tobacco.

Palate: Rich and sweet, with dark fruits, toffee, espresso, toasted almonds, and warming spice.

Finish: Long and lingering, with remarkable length and elegance.

Food Pairings

The dark fruit and chocolate character in GlenDronach Aged 21 Years pairs beautifully with a flourless chocolate torte, dried figs, or a spiced plum pudding. Its espresso and toasted almond notes also complement aged Gouda or a good cigar.

Serving Suggestions

GlenDronach Aged 21 Years is best enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped glass or Glencairn, giving its layered sherry cask character room to fully unfold. This is a whisky built for slow, deliberate sipping.
