ONLINE & LIVE: GlenDronach 21 Yr Old Parliament Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey | Value: $350

STARTS ONLINE, ends with LIVE BID SHEET. Value: $300. Donated by Bari Wright with Personnel Plus.

Matured in a combination of the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for a minimum of 21 years and bottled at 48% ABV, the ‘Parliament’ continues the great GlenDronach 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 GlenDronach distillery for almost 200 years.

Tasting Notes:

APPEARANCE: Deep amber with a cherry wood sheen. NOSE: A delicate mix of ripe autumnal fruits – notably blackberries and red plums. Rich Oloroso sherry and candied orange segments. Spiced oatmeal biscuits and toasted oak fragrances bring excellent weight and balance. PALATE: Resolute flavors of fine Oloroso sherry and bitter chocolate sauce, which has been spread liberally over homemade plum pudding. This is all infused with fabulous spicy notes – cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Full bodied with smooth tannins. CONCLUSION: Long and lingering.
