Any One for a Scotch?

You seem like a man of good taste, between your scotch collection and your boot collection (the shark/shell bonafes are money)

Trust me, I’m a man completely lacking in taste.

That bottle is on my list, gotta find one around my parts.

The 21 is my go to and until recently was only marginally more expensive than the 18.

Try to make sure you get one with 2019 bottling date on the back, I believe it is actually 24 year old juice, due to a period when the distillery was dormant (https://wordsofwhisky.com/glendronach-is-a-lot-older-than-the-label-says/). It is good stuff, much better value (and no worse in quality) than Macallan in my book.

I am nursing my way thru two bottles I bought at Incheon in 2019. Ah the days of quick and easy international travel and duty free stockpiling.

A good friend gifted me a bottle of the Quinta Ruban upon my return to the US after a year overseas (military)

'Twas delicious.

Enjoy

He appears to be drinking the jetfuel I brew every morning. Must be ingested before 11am, otherwise tastebuds are too awake to let it down the hatch.

ahhh..been trying to get both of these for a long time, sans the crazy shipping cost of where it’s readily available. I got a nasty surprise in 2018, I thought while I was in England I would stock up on all the ones I couldn’t get in the U.S. Man, I couldn’t even find crappy scotch for sale, even in London. I was shocked.

hmmmm….that’s great insider trading there, I’ll definitely use that info. I’ve got a line on a location that I’ll be visiting this weekend that may bear fruit, will check it out if they have the bottles I’m after.

I've only tried the 21 at a tasting. I'm a Glendronach fanboy so of course it was fantastic. I would say I've viewed the 18 as a better bang for your buck at somewhere between $100-150 vs the 21 at $200+. That could be a different story now that the current production 18 is actually 18 and the 21 is closer to 25 or 26 year old juice.

Now that I think about it, I really should stock up on some Glendronach 21 while it's the old stuff. BRB

Yeah, seems like prices have spiked recently

Speaking of this - Springbank 10 used to be $60... now it's ~$90 (if you can even find it).

So I couldn’t find any 18 Glendronach but did find a 12. Unfortunately, bottled after 2013.
