Product Details
The Glendronach 15 Year Old 'Revival' showcases an unprecedented depth, reflecting the perfect synergy between Highland single malt and Spanish sherry casks.

Read More About the Distillery
Located in the Valley of Forgue in East Highland, Scotland, The Glendronach Distillery was founded by James Allardice in 1826. For nearly two centuries, the distillery has upheld traditional methods and remains one of the few in Scotland strictly dedicated to sherry cask maturation. The Glendronach style is renowned for being 'rich, heavy, and full-bodied,' a result of unique still shapes and long, cool fermentation processes that ensure the spirit has an exceptional structure before entering the cask.
The legend of the 15 Year Old Revival lies in its history. Once considered the definitive expression of the Glendronach spirit, it was discontinued for several years due to inventory constraints. Under the guidance of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, this classic returned in 2018. The new version continues the PX and Oloroso dual-cask maturation, preserving the depth collectors crave while adding a new level of sophistication. Whether enjoyed slowly or gifted to an enthusiast, the Glendronach 15 Year Old is the ideal choice for discerning tastes.
