[...] drinkable (I didn’t feel the need to add water). Yet, when compared directly with the 1972 and 1972 for LMdW single casks, I have the feeling something’s missing. I guess last year’s GlenDronach single [...]

Does anyone have an idea what my 1972 cask 921 is worth as it is gathering dust since stopping drinking?
Thanks

Ruben, on the nose … I almost blocked on the heavy sherry … just checked my notes, and in the mouth, we basically agree: smooth and dry, BIG sherry, nutty, getting woody and bitter in finish.

The official one is fruitier and MUCH more complex.

For me the difference between the two is a bit more subtle. I wouldn’t call it over-sherried either, the LMdW cask contains more wood but that’s not the same.

Ruben,

I quote you: “I guess 1972 already is a legendary year for GlenDronach” … indeed … many (2) have been bottled already, of which half (1) was over-sherried … and if even Luc Olorosso says so !!!

I liked the ‘official’ one MUCH MUCH more … 93 points against 83 points !!!

Cheers,
B. !!!

hi Ruben,

I couldn’t agree more, I prefer the 1972 general market release too. The LMDW is too dry and tannic, even for me

Regards,
Luc
