Glendronach 15 year old Revival is an exceptional whisky. The best sherry whisky, I've tried so far. A 90 point score, from a guy who usually doesn't go for the sherry finish!
This one is greatly in balance, managing to bring the sherry nicely and smoothly, with a rich palate. A reincarnation of something great, like Nouvelle Vague by Jean-Luc Godard. Godard's film being a bit more harder to understand...
Glendronach 15 yrs Revival is complex, yet easy to drink. The smoothness makes it that way.
Nose: First some sherry with hints of rubber on the side. Becomes malty with citrus and dried fruits feel. Great toffee comes with water.
Taste: Full and thick dram: toffee and malt dominate with nuts and sherry in the background. Some dryness as well: dark chocolate and dried fruits.
Finish: Spicy and oaky, dry and warming. Aftertaste brings sweet and fruity notes.
Balance: Very rich and full. Great sherry whisky.

Interesting, I just posted my review of this 2 days ago; I think we maybe only experienced the nose differently, but the rest makes sense to me. It is also interesting that you liked this one so much! I would consider this sweetly sherried, and I remember from your review of GlenDronach's 21yo that you're not a fan of sherried malts (in fact I remember thinking it was the lowest score I'd seen for the Parliament!). But this 15yo seems to win over a lot of people-- It got you, too!
