I don’t pour this too often. Not because it sucks, but because even in a collection of amazing bottles, I still think it’s important to save at least one bottle for those special moments. I’m sitting on the back deck enjoying a perfect fall Texas evening and sharing a dram of this with my father before a birthday dinner of interior Mexican cuisine. Whisky was meant for sharing.
This bottle has been open about six months now and this was the third and fourth pours from the bottle. Amazing. Rich deep notes of Oloroso and PX. Ginger, allspice, dark fruit, leather, baking cocoa, and somehow sweet and drying at the same time. Just amazing. Best bottle in my collection hands down, and one worthy of a special occasion. Cheers!

I tried my first Glendronach last month and was impressed. If I get a chance to try this boy, I’m jumping. Thanks for the review.
Happy Bday @WhiskeyLonghorn! Sounds like a memorable evening. I believe this is your 3rd review of this dram and it’s still holding strong at 5⭐️. That says a lot. I may just add a second bottle to my shelf (ahem I meant attic 🤫)
A good way to celebrate. Slainte mhath!
Happy Birthday and many happy returns to great quality drams
Yes Happy Birthday, enjoy the Texas night its fantastic
@WhiskeyLonghorn Funny you should say that. For most of the last several years I've been an 18 man but recently I'm prefering the 21 and 15. More balanced profile. Who knows in another few years :-)
Happy birthday!
Those special, shareable moments referenced with a good spirit or music locks in those memories. Sláinte!
someday....
@Jan-Case I much prefer the 21 to the 18, bit @Soba45 and I have gone back and forth about the merits of the 18 vs. the 21. I like the balance on the 21.
Worthy pick for a celebration
Life is worth celebrating. Enjoy.
How does it compare to the 18y? Also happy birthday.
Happy birthday! I'm glad you were able to share and enjoy such a great bottle for it :)
