The best whiskey of 2020 has been crowned by the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the newly elected winner is GlenDronach Revival 15 Single Malt Scotch.
- GlenDronach 15 was named “Best In Show Whiskey” from 3,000 submissions from around the globe at this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition!
- This iconic expression was re-released in 2018 following a three-year wait.
- This expression exemplifies The GlenDronach’s rich depths of sherry wood maturation, continuing the legacy set out by distillery founder James Allardice in 1826, marrying Highland spirit to Spanish oak.
- Competition judge H. Joseph Ehrmann of San Francisco’s Elixir & Elixir To Go, said “I was very happy to see The GlenDronach Revival 15 Year Old win top honors this year. It has been one of my personal favorites recently, and I’ve been selling a good deal of it at Elixir, as my bartenders are also big fans. It’s such a mouth-filling dram, rich with fruit, spice and creaminess with grand aroma and a long finish. Just about everything you want in fine sipping spirit.”
In flavor, the expression offers sumptuous notes of dark fruits, rich chocolate, and manuka honey with an enveloping, memorable finish worthy of this monumental malt’s history. This luxuriously sherried Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is bottled at 46% ABV, no- chill-filtered and natural in color.
