The first of three drams from a recent visit to the Flatiron Room in Manhattan -
This is the second Glendronach Cask Strength I've sampled, with the first being Batch 2. While Batch 8 is certainly not bad, I liked Batch 2 more.
I love Glendronach, mainly because of the rich, full, and multi-note sherry finishes. This sherry notes in Batch 8 are less promintent and less spectacular than some of my favorite Glendronachs, with a more prominent spiciness present here. Unfortunately, the spiciness is somewhat non-descript.
This is one I'll try again if I have the chance. More than most other whiskies, my palate responds differently to Glendronach with each tasting. I'm not sure why that is. For now, I find this to be a pleasant, easy and reasonably enoyable whisky, but not among Glendronach's best

I feel the same way with Glendronach. I know that what you ate last can effect how a whisky tastes but Glendronach changes even more so. Now for me it is not sip by sip different but day by day. Sometimes it has tasted like a completely different distillery. I think it is the PX and Oloroso they use. They use more PX than most.
