GlenDronach 21 Years Single Malt
格蘭多納 Parliament 21 年是一款深受雪莉桶風味塑造的單一麥芽威士忌。以頂級 Oloroso 與 Pedro Ximénez 雪莉桶陳年至少 21 年,48% 酒精度,非冷凝過濾,保留香氣與口感的厚實度。酒色深琥珀,誘發黑莓與熟西梅、蜜餞橙皮的果香,接著是濃郁的 Oloroso 巧克力與烤橡木香。入口飽滿,苦甜巧克力醬、梅子布丁與肉桂、七香粉般的溫暖香料交織,單寧圓潤細緻,帶來順滑的口感與悠長尾韻;皮革、煙斗煙草與甘草味在後段提升複雜性。酒廠坐落高地,附近的烏鴉群(即酒名中的“Parliament”)是當地象徵,酒廠長期使用雪莉桶熟成,風格一貫濃烈果實感與深厚橡木影響。建議先在杯中稍微醒 15–30 分鐘,讓香氣完全打開,再用小口慢品,會更能感受層次。
Glendronach 'Parliament' 21 Year Old is a deeply sherried single malt matured in a marriage of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks for a minimum of 21 years and bottled at a robust 48% ABV. Appearance is deep amber with a cherry-wood sheen. The nose offers ripe autumnal fruits — blackberries and red plums — layered with rich Oloroso character, candied orange and toasted oak spices. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated: bitter chocolate sauce, stewed plum pudding, and warm baking spices (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg) are woven through with toasted oak and soft, smooth tannins. Leather, pipe tobacco and a whisper of sandalwood add savoury complexity. The finish is long and lingering, with licorice and oak tannin echoing the sherry sweetness. Produced by Glendronach Distillery in the Highlands — a house long celebrated for heavy sherry-cask maturation — this expression honours the distillery’s ‘Parliament’ of rooks, a local emblem that watches over the site. Non-chill filtered and crafted for those who enjoy intense, sherry-led single malts.

Winery
格蘭多納酒廠位於蘇格蘭高地,以雪莉桶熟成聞名,酒風濃郁、果味十足且橡木感明顯。『Parliament』之名來自常年在酒廠旁築巢的烏鴉群。這款 21 年以 Oloroso 與 PX 雪莉桶為主體調配,沿用傳統工藝:非冷凝過濾並以較高酒精度裝瓶,保留更多香氣與口感細節。
Glendronach Distillery, founded in the Highlands and famed for its dedication to sherry-cask maturation, produces rich, fruit-forward single malts. The 'Parliament' takes its name from the long-standing colony of rooks that nest near the distillery. For this 21-year expression, Glendronach blends whiskies matured predominantly in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, keeping production traditional — non-chill filtered and bottled at a higher ABV to preserve texture and aromatics.
