GlenDronach 19 yr distilled in 1995
This round was our first repeat bottle. Not that we're running out of scotch to drink, we just wanted a reminder of how much we enjoyed the GlenDronach. But the other two were interesting choices, all three hailing from the Highlands.
We've tried the 25, so we decided to give the Glenfarclas 21 a spin. This reminded us a bit of The Dalmore Cigar Malt despite not being sherried. Mildly spicy with distinct apple and berry notes. Refreshing; a solid choice from the Glenfarclas core statements.

This was our first Glencadam, and it didn't go over too well. Heavy on the oak and banana, this was our least favorite bottle from the round. Still smooth and enjoyable, but more for those who would prefer to chew on a piece of barrel wood.

The GlenDronach 19 yr distilled in 1995
Why did we return to this bottle? Because this was the club's favorite from early on. We decided to revisit this sherry monster to see if our opinions had changed now that we drank enough scotch to drown a horse. It didn't. Still unbelieably sweet and chocolatey. Warming. Thicc.
