Whisky Review/Tasting: Glendronach Parliament 21 years

[@421eme]

I whole heartily agree! A definite buy and a wonderful dram! Among my favorites as well! Excellent review Horst! Thanks for sharing.

[@Zmann86]

I was fortunate enough to have discovered this gem recently and add several of the Glendronach bottles to my collection. I picked up the 12, the 15, the 18 (sold out everywhere!) and the 21. They are an absolute treat when I decide to enjoy a dram!

[@marcovanvelzen6266]

This dram has descended directly from heaven into my cabinet. When I took a sip it fellt like 200 little angels were pissing on my tongue. After 20 seconds in my mouth i got so much sensations that i almost fainted by hapiness . Don't let anyone tell you to put water or ice in it and don't believe people saying it's not extremely good,, because it is. End of discussion! No,,, i am joking,, everybody has different taste/opinion and that's how it should be. To Horst and Ben,, thanks for your expert reviews,, I love them

[@terjehuse8562]

Having had the 15 and the 18, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed, this 21 will probably be next on my list. Still reasonably priced - even here in Norway! Thanks for yet another superb review!

[@foxmulder4134]

Great review as always. I really appreciate you taking the time to do these reviews.

[@cato451]

Thanks Horst. One of my favorites.

[@thecrookedman3851]

Your videos are simply lovely, even for someone who knows nothing about whisky. Please keep up the good work.

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

I just bought a bottle to replace the one I emptied last week. The price has gotten very high where I live in the U.S. In my state there are minimum prices set by the state on spirits. The last bottle I bought 3 years ago cost me $199. Now it is $290 and unfortunately I could not find it for a lower price in a neighboring state. This will probably be the last bottle I buy. Love this whisky but it has gotten to the point where it is simply cost prohibitive.

[@peterwood2633]

Got 18 allardice and 15 revival. Going to buy this now

[@roderickbrown8516]

Hello. I would like to start by saying I know nothing about scotch. Make that alcohol in general, but your videos are very informative for a novice of my nature. Do you recommend a single malt scotch for a retired military man. Ive been told its traditional to give single malt scotch to them when they retire. The person in question had 23 years in the Army.

[@magnushansen6335]

Thanks for the review. Having this one for the first time to night. After having it stored one year just waiting for the right moment. Looking forward to this whisky 🥃

[@janmunsterjensen8837]

So, how was it? :-)

[@TheOriginalRaster]

Excellent whisky, excellent review! So enjoyable, I will some day try this Single Malt. Thanks.

[@Seronu]

The bottle now stands at £175. Crazy price increases.

[@andrewlordon8734]

Just bought two @$410 CDN. Sept 9 2022 bottling.

[@oakesy31]

Great review. I would love to see a review of the newer 12 year old Sauternes cask. It's a pity you can't get the 15yr revival now for love nor money..

[@jasonmacdonald3056]

I gather from recent reviews that Parliament and Glenlivet 18 are amongst your favourite whiskies. Would love to hear what else would fill your list. Keep the great reviews coming Horst!

[@TheEnglishRedneck45]

I think, from doing lots of recent 'research' on his channel, that Horst may add Lagavulin 16 Distiller's Edition and Black Bowmore 42 to that list.

[@kassaievboz7678]

but where do you find these samples !

[@murat7961]

guys i have one bottle but would like to know what year they produce . Anyone know how i can learn ilke through product number etc?

[@cutestbear3327]

My friend, the bottling date is usually laser-printed somewhere on the bottom third of the glass bottle

[@user-hb1ve6mc6f]

thanks...nice review, Dr

[@joeninety4740]

Horst knows his business.

[@oakesy31]

Hi Horst.. There is a new Glendronach..."Virgin Oak" hope you can do a video soon and let us know what you think.

[@topshelfwhisky]

Just tried this one, I was impressed... I share your opinion in regards to how it compares to the 15 and 18-year-olds. Good review.

[@Jack_The_Biker]

That intro made me moist

[@jayman369]

Thanks for your review. Your opinion on this one is quite different than Ralfy's. I personally regard this as one of my favorites as well. I guess the only thing we can do is try things out ourselves since people have different palates and preferences.

[@francisd2386]

Those were old stocks when current owners took over Glendronach. I wonder how good are Billy Walker's new make whiskies.

[@user-hb1ve6mc6f]

[@ExiStrife]

"The price has risen to 120 Euros" *looks at video date* *looks up current price in 2020* CHRIST

[@David4.14]

This bottle goes for £130 here in the UK. Not that expensive considering the quality and age.

[@michellechiu2134]

About $250 USD currently 😔

[@MrWhangdoodles]

I live Black Friday. Got it for 116€

[@rizademirel4325]

I loved that whisky , a real masterpiece like you said 👏👏

[@elooijenga]

Too bad the pricies a crazy now. Last bottle I bought was 99 euro. Same for the Allardice 18, bought the last bottle for 56 euro 😔

[@furryskyline4707]

In Denmark it is 160 Euros, Germany 140-165 euros, Slovenia 147 euros if you can find it at all!

[@stianaslaksen5799]

205 EUR is the current price in Norway

[@titouv991]

excellent representation !

[@Durian1st]

I have a 2013 bottled year of Gl.Dronach 18 Unopened, Carefully observe the liquid, I saw a few small pieces of light brown stringy (around 2 mm long) sinking at the bottom of the spirit, when shaking up they move around in the spirit. My question: is there any thing wrong about the liquid ?. , is it error of filtration?, or sediment?. i do hope nothing wrong about my Gl.Dronach 18 that costed me $160. What is your thought on this ?. Thank you for your knowledge opinion .

[@swierku7]

I think there is nothing wrong with Your Glendronach. The distillery is well known for making whisky "as it should be"- non-chill filtred, natural color. Sometimes in Single Cask edition it happens- nothing to worry about.

[@josephbradley1148]

Not unusual to see this with older whisky. Enjoy!

[@donmon5361]

I wish I can afford a bottle of this

[@ronprichard6145]

I bought a miniature to get the experience without the expense. Still to try it.

[@donmon5361]

@@ronprichard6145 nice, let me know what you think. How much was the mini?

[@ronprichard6145]

@@donmon5361 Nicest smelling whisky I've tried so far, taste is not bad either. A 50ml miniature cost the equivalent of US$14.12 here. A 700ml bottle is US$140.65. I'm pleased I tried it.

[@donmon5361]

@@ronprichard6145 the full bottle size is a good price where you are. Glad you enjoyed it, I would have loved if you said "the taste was the nicest taste I've tried so far" too :D

[@catnapgee5357]

@@ronprichard6145 just curious, what is a whisky you find amazing on the palette?

[@DutchNewbJr]

1st dram : nose : sweet/caramel, fruit/orange/sherry, clove/cinamon. taste: bit spicy, bit bitter, long finish, nuts/nutmeg/chocolate. but not worth €200+.. would pay max €100 for this. glendronach 15 is better for your money.

[@Gungrave123]

RIP a great bottle

[@stuie46]

Made in my nick of the woods. :-)

[@Posidaon]

Try to pronounce "cherry" as it is, not as sherry cause in some videos i'm getting confused xD. Work on that! Very nice video as always!

[@digitaldemocracyai-rob]

Sherry wood sheen!

[@MarkW1210]

Is this still a buy at $280 in 2020 LOL

[@pringle920]

I've seen for $234, haven't tried it yet.

[@jonathanbean7097]

I've seen this 21 as high as $500 USD these days

How am I supposed to get this in Ohio :(...

[@LesgoBrandon7]

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell.

[@catnapgee5357]

sounds nothing like Christopher Walken.

[@pierremadani7281]

That one needs water and let it rest for about 20-30 mn under a glass lid. Still, a lot of sherry aroma then leathery . I prefer the 15yo revival.

[@richardbarbat4127]

I agree with you i prefer the 15 Revival too. The 21 is more quiet, almost "boring" (it's still an excellent whisky). The 15 is more punchy in mouth, more alive. Glendronach has stopped production of 15 Revival, but we can still find bottles 30-40 Euros less than the 21.

[@pierremadani7281]

Got my 15yo for 90$ a few months ago and its price is on the rise. I heard they might reintroduce the Revival in 2017. Let's wait and see what Billy Walker would come up with.

[@richardbarbat4127]

HI Pierre. Here in France we are lucky to find yet at 60-70 Euros. I heard the same information. 2 years ago we can find it in Holland at 40 Euros, incredible ratio price/quality !

[@Ron-nm6yr]

The alcohol taste is much much to strong! The alcohol predominates to much .. even if you add water to it. Not recommended! I throw this bottle away in the sink or I give it away, this is really a very very bad whisky... biggest mistake to purchase this one. I never buy such a high ABV again! Just give me a delicate whisky without the strong alcohol taste. This is definitely not a delicate whisky! Bweh!!!

[@H.Michael83]

Ron B Ist er zu stark, bist du zu schwach! An deinem Eindruck sieht man das du keine Ahnung hast. PS: Na klar, schmeiß doch einen Whisky für 105€ einfach weg...👍👍👍
