GlenDronach 21 Parliament, 48%
I’m starting to be a right GlenDronach addict. Quite weird for someone who generally says he prefers bourbon casks. Also, I’ve never really tasted those really old and expensive ones. Usually I stall around the early nineties and everything older … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition 10 – Deanston Distillery Only, 20yo, Lepanto Brandy Cask finish, 57.4%

BTC sample 8 – GlenDronach 22, 55.1%
That colour! It makes me very curious whether or not this is delicious, or just overly strong sherry. Probably PX at that, as I’ve had before in some drams. Sniff: Big, fat sherry, which isn’t too surprising of course. Old … Continue reading
