A 21 year old Glendronach released in 2011, and aged in a mix of sherry casks (Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez dessert sherry). The result is really very good indeed. Interestingly enough, this whisky has no political associations. It is, in fact, named “Parliament” after the collective term for a group of rooks – and there is a Parliament of Rooks living in the trees near GlenDronach…

As you may have guessed from the name of this expression, GlenDronach is going back in time with Traditionally Peated. More specifically, about 200 years back, to the year 1826 when the distillery was founded, and it was common practice in the Highlands to burn peat in the kiln towards the end of the barley malting. For the whisky, the distillery has kept its traditional sherried style, marrying liquid from a range of Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso sherry and Port casks, all bottled up at 48% ABV.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Golden amber
Nose: Aromas of honey, orchard fruit, vanilla, and soft spice
Palate: Rich and lively with flavours of apple, caramel, citrus peel, and gentle oak
Finish: Medium to long with warming spice and lingering sweetness.

Gelenfarclas 105 Cask Strength doesn’t carry an age statement, but there are any suggestions that it is matured for 8-10 years in a combination of both ex-sherry an ex-bourbon barrels. Drying and rich it makes for a superb dram, one the Malt Maniacs rated as the best „Bang for your buck“ whisky in 2004. It is an excellent whisky with aromas of spices, citrus fruits and oloroso sherry. It introduces a world of flavours and make a fiery and strong experience.
Glenfarclas 105 is a superb cask strength whisky, with a history that can be traced to 1968. When the original incarnation was released that year, Glenfarclas became the first distillery to release a barrel proof single malt whisky.
The bottling was eventually re-named to 105, referring to its alcohol content in British Proof, which equates now to 60% ABV.
The 105 doesn’t carry an age statement presently, making it rare among Glenfarclas bottlings. Although, there are suggestions that it is matured for 8-10 years in a combination of both ex-sherry and ex-bourbon barrels.
Drying, assertive and richly spiced, the 105 makes for a superb dram, one the Malt Maniacs rated as the best “Bang for your buck” whisky in 2004. Add a drop of water if you please to explore its depth – and don’t be put off by that ABV, there’s plenty of flavour here to enjoy.

As a result, they have access to some of the best stocks of old whisky in the business, and are able to offer them at jaw droppingly reasonable prices.
Superb single malt from the Glenfarclas distillery, aged for 30 years. Three decades of maturation have resulted in a fantastically full-bodied, satisfyingly Sherried and all-around awesome flavour profile. Now presented with a box designed as an homage to the unmistakable red door of the Glenfarclas warehouse.

Collector’s Note
This bottle has strong collector appeal because it belongs to the early phase of Glenfiddich’s rise as one of the defining names in single malt Scotch whisky. Bottles from this era often matter more than later routine core-range releases because they capture the brand while it was still establishing the presentation and identity that later became globally recognisable.
It is also attractive because the whisky appears to carry a flavour profile that feels distinctly old-style. Published tasting notes for comparable bottlings point toward tropical fruit, grassy freshness, savoury spice and slightly funky orchard fruit rather than a simple light Speyside profile, which helps this bottle stand out both as a collectible and as a drinking curiosity for those who open rare stock.
