The GlenDronach 26 Years Old 1992 Port Pipe #5896 (49.3%, OB, Batch 17, 828 Bottles, 2019)
The GlenDronach 26 Years Old 1992 Port Pipe #5896 whisky review: On reflection perhaps a little underwhelming, I had high hopes for this port matured expression but in the end it lacked a little something that sherry maturation delivers so well for GlenDronach. Undoubtedly a very well constructed whisky, not overly sweet and plenty of woody influence as you would expect after 26 years. A great comparator and on a par with the other two expressions. 87/100

The GlenDronach 25 Years Old 1993 Oloroso Butt #416 (51.2%, OB, Batch 17, 663 Bottles, 2019)
The GlenDronach 25 Years Old 1993 Oloroso Butt #416 whisky review: A much fruitier and livelier expression, a real rich and red fruit medley. The end result is a much better balance of fruit to woody elements. A crisp and almost fresh red apple note throughout also. My favourite of the trio. 88/100

The GlenDronach 23 Years Old 1995 PX Puncheon #3040 (52.5%, OB, Batch 17, 603 Bottles, 2019)
The GlenDronach 23 Years Old 1995 PX Puncheon #3040 whisky review: A fantastic PX matured expression from GlenDronach, rich, malty and full-bodied with polished antique oak, spice and dark fruits. It is clear to see where the fame and appetite for these single cask batch releases arises. 87/100
Miltonduff 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask (55.8%, Claxton’s, 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel # 1961-700925, 248 Bottles, 2019)
Miltonduff 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask whisky review: A delightful cask strength and relatively straightforward/unfussy expression. The cask has had plenty of influence here as you would expect from 1st fill, making this very palateable. The balance is in favour of cask over spirit character here which works very well. I’m not sure I am any closer to uncovering the DNA or character of Miltonduff after these expressions but they were both very pleasing and enjoyable. 83/100
