Matured in a combination of the finest Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for a minimum of 21 years, the Parliament continues the great Glen Dronach tradition of offering fruit-laden intensity in its single malts. This rich expression has been named Parliament after the colony, or parliament, of rooks that have been nesting in the trees that overlook the Glen Dronach distillery for almost 200 years. Bottled at 48%, the Parliament is non-chill-filtered & of natural colour.
Appearance: Deep amber with a cherry wood sheen.
Nose: A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits
- notably blackberries & red plums. Rich Oloroso sherry & candied orange segments. Spiced oatmeal biscuits & toasted oak fragrances bring excellent weight & balance.
Palate: Resolute flavours of fine Oloroso sherry & bitter chocolate sauce, which has been spread liberally over homemade plum pudding. This is all infused with fabulous spicy notes
- cinnamon, allspice & nutmeg. Full-bodied with smooth tannins.
Conclusion: Long & lingering.
