Great rundown Rob! I have yet to taste a Glendronach whisky but I am looking forward to it as I have enjoyed other sherried scotches I have tried. Cheers!
Very interesting once again Rob. I haven't had any GlenDronach yet, but I have a Cask Strength Batch 7 on the way. Really looking forward to trying it. Cheers.
Great review on the Glendronach. I still have a couple bottles of the old Revival 15. I've had a bottle of the Parliament 21 and was disappointed. It was a little hot for a 21 yr I thought. The flavors weren't as complex as expected. I would like to try again, but I'm cautious on spending $200 to find out. The 18 yr is king for me.
Since your first review of Glendronach 18 Allardice, I've been out looking for the all the expressions that I can get my hands on. It was a great review and helped jump start my journey into Scotch and other world whiskies.
This is the year to load up on the Allardice as it will be 24 year old juice, and 2021 or 2022 will be the year to buy the Parliament as it will be 27 year old juice!
^^^^^This. Gotta check those bottling dates though! Either way I don’t think they’re going to have the stock to get through the entire year before discontinuing.
Robert Zemko Bottlings from last year and this year contain juice that will actually be 23-24 years old respectively due to the distillery being mothballed for 6 years prior to recommencing distilling.
Finished a bottle of Parliament a few weeks ago - delicious. Thanks to this video and comments below, I just picked up a bottle of Allardice today - it has 2017 stamped on the back.
Amped for this one dude 👍🏻 Between this and the recent Glengoyne rundown, you’re helping to push me closer to getting backup bottles for my backup bottles before the prices start going up, and the liquid starts hitting closer to the labeled age statements. Cheers 🥃
Whisky In The 6 Whisky In The 6 Outside of the Grandeur which I haven’t tasted yet, identical ranking order for me. Well done video! The 18 is creeping up on the 21 though, the 2018 bottling is going to be 23 years due to the mothballing. Time to go into a little debt!
Hello Rob, I like your videos very much. Woluld you recomend buying the sinlges cask series over the paliament since the first one's price y almost double the second one?
Rob, I have two Glendronach bottles not sure if you've enjoyed one or both. Can you tell me your thoughts. I was looking through your reviews but didn't see any videos of either. 1st bottle is Master Vintage 1993 25 yr old 48.2% The second one is 2008 Cask bottling 12 yr 59.8% any thoughts on these?
Thanks for the great videos. I'm a Glendronach fan now having almost finished a bottle of the 21 and just got my 18 in the mail today. Woww....so....so good. Now you have me desiring these crazy priced ones.....da**m it! Slainte!!
Hi Rob.... need some solid feedback I’m getting ready to go shopping for some good scotch... debating on these two which is better ? 21 Parliament or Glengoyne 25.
Hey Rob I had the Allardice many times before great whisky never have tried the parliament 21 looking at the chart they are both 23 years old because of the closure what are the difference?
These rundowns are really informative. Gives you a good impression of quality/price ratio. Do you just not like port expressions or does it just not go well with GlenDronach in your opinion? Your review is the reason I didn't buy the peated port, so thank you for saving me the $105 and for informing several of my whisky purchases. Cheers and Go Leafs
I have only tried the GD 12 and it absolutely delicious. They don’t have the 15 available in my area and the 18 is priced at $200 in south Florida. I just won’t pay 200 for an 18 yr scotch. But if I travel and find it cheaper I will definitely try it out. GD is one of my fav 12 yr old whisky
Great Videos Rob!! All your videos along with Scotch 4 dummies, scotch test dummies have been consuming all my free time lol. What's your thought Glengoyne 18 for $76 american dollars or Glendronach 18 Allardice (2017)for $150?
21yo is close to excellent . I got to taste the 21yo miniature and have a whole bottle as well but afraid to break the seal. Will open in special occasion only lol
Nice one Rob! Cask 652 is still my favorite GlenDronach but haven't tried any of the Grandeurs yet. They seem to be a lot higher in price than the single casks are. I think I'd rather have 2-3 single casks than 1 grandeur for the money. Are you going to review the 2018 Revival? It's not as good imo.
Thanks Rob and thanks Glendronach for making awesome sherry stuff and also with a nice price tag. I mean... just imagine a macallan that would be comparable with the allardice, in terms of quality, and check the diffrence in price.
Whisky In The 6 lol, no need to be sorry... it’s your money. If you can afford it and believe it is worth it for you, that’s your decision. Personally, I have a hard time understanding how any bottle of whisky can really be worth that much, but hey, it’s only money - it costs what it costs, and if you want to try it, you pay it. I get it. Your recommendation of splitting with a group of friends is a good one, except there’s no way in Hel I’m paying $100 for 2 oz of whisky, but that’s just me - to some it’s worth it. I mean, I’ve smoked cigars that people pay $150+ for... except I only paid $30 for it, so... it’s all relative.
Great rundown Rob! I have yet to taste a Glendronach whisky but I am looking forward to it as I have enjoyed other sherried scotches I have tried. Cheers!
+Blind Whiskey Reviews cheers buddy
Great rundown, Rob! The idea of sharing the costs with several people for the Grandeur is a fantastic idea! Cheers brother!
Richie Z well worth it. Find a group of ten or so guys and make a night out of it.
Very interesting once again Rob. I haven't had any GlenDronach yet, but I have a Cask Strength Batch 7 on the way. Really looking forward to trying it. Cheers.
+Whiskey Straight Al you need to check them out for sure.
I only had the 12 and the 21. I have to say I love them both but the 21 is just so intense and beautiful. I love it
Beautiful stuff
Great review on the Glendronach. I still have a couple bottles of the old Revival 15. I've had a bottle of the Parliament 21 and was disappointed. It was a little hot for a 21 yr I thought.

+Mose Chun thanks brother.
This is the year to load up on the Allardice as it will be 24 year old juice, and 2021 or 2022 will be the year to buy the Parliament as it will be 27 year old juice!
Sippers Social Club any idea when LCBO getting new batches?
^^^^^This. Gotta check those bottling dates though! Either way I don’t think they’re going to have the stock to get through the entire year before discontinuing.
did you mean to say this is the year TO load up on the Allardice?. I would if I could find some but no luck yet.
Robert Zemko Bottlings from last year and this year contain juice that will actually be 23-24 years old respectively due to the distillery being mothballed for 6 years prior to recommencing distilling.
yes, I agree. I have 4 bottles and counting lol.
Finished a bottle of Parliament a few weeks ago - delicious. Thanks to this video and comments below, I just picked up a bottle of Allardice today - it has 2017 stamped on the back.

Adam Seibert lol
You do a great job ... I have a bottle of GLENDRONACH 18 years old, but actually 22 years old 😁😁😁😁. It was bottled in 2014 ...
These rundowns are a really cool idea. Awesome video Rob!
+The Malted Man Cave thanks Keith. Hope you’re doing well brother.
Hello Rob, I like your videos very much. Woluld you recomend buying the sinlges cask series over the paliament since the first one's price y almost double the second one?
Ya for sure buddy. Single casks are usually good.
That grandeur looks something else....you lucky divil. Wonderful experience.

Never tried either unfortunately

lol that Grandeur is something special.
How old is the minimum age of the whisky barrels used in this years Allardice bottling :)
I think this one was a 2017
Hi Rob.... need some solid feedback I’m getting ready to go shopping for some good scotch... debating on these two which is better ? 21 Parliament or Glengoyne 25.
The Parliament 21 is a lot sweeter. The Goyne 25 is more complex. Really depends what flavours you prefer.
Hey Rob I had the Allardice many times before great whisky never have tried the parliament 21 looking at the chart they are both 23 years old because of the closure what are the difference?
+tsunamimami major difference is that the parliament has some PX Sherry casks. The Allardice is strictly oloroso.
Nice video man! Glen Dronach is fantastic Scotch, I love the stuff! This is the year I track down and buy the 18 and 21 year old!
Jamison Moeckel shouldn’t be too hard buddy. Best of luck.
can you do this with aberlour

Mark Saliba honestly I usually really like Port expressions. Just not from Glendronach.

+angrygio76 ya the 12 is excellent
+angrygio76 yep. Excellent stuff.
Great video but I want to know what was in the box that made you laugh and close it so quickly. 🤣🤣😉
Lol I don’t even remember
Great vid Rob! Great idea regarding splitting. Definitely what it's all about!
Robert Horovitz ya I’ve done it before. Plan to do a few of those this year.
@@WhiskyInThe6 ma man
Even their 12 year is happyness in a bottle
Glendronach 18 vs glengoyne 18 .???? What u suggest
+milan jeetendra if you want smooth and balanced goyne, if you want full and robust dronach.
Amazing color on the dronach! I also get a maple syrup flavor from one of my bottles of rye
whiskey ace ya more common with bourbon and rye
Great Videos Rob!! All your videos along with Scotch 4 dummies, scotch test dummies have been consuming all my free time lol. What's your thought Glengoyne 18 for $76 american dollars or Glendronach 18 Allardice (2017)for $150?
+Andy KO the Glengoyne 18 is an excellent whisky. Love that stuff.
@@WhiskyInThe6 thanks for the reply! I really appreciate that you communicate to your viewers.
21yo is close to excellent . I got to taste the 21yo miniature and have a whole bottle as well but afraid to break the seal. Will open in special occasion only lol
nice!
15 is Oloroso and PX right? All youtube reviews all say its oloroso and no attribution to PX. But tube box says is oloroso and px.
That’s because the older one was just Oloroso. They changed it in 2018.
Nice one Rob! Cask 652 is still my favorite GlenDronach but haven't tried any of the Grandeurs yet. They seem to be a lot higher in price than the single casks are. I think I'd rather have 2-3 single casks than 1 grandeur for the money. Are you going to review the 2018 Revival? It's not as good imo.
Travis Faircloth haven’t found any yet but I plan to.
In my opinion, the PX ruins it..should have stayed 100% Oloroso. 18 all day over 15.
A-Aron haven’t tried but likely agree.
Great job and thank you for sharing!
Keep on going......
Greetings
Moses
+mosesumike cheers Moses. Hope you are doing well.

+Criell-SDKWhisky ya it’s crazy the difference in price
+Criell-SDKWhisky 🙏🏻
Isn't the new GlenDro 15 made with Olorosso ánd PX?
+Gordon Dramsay oloroso only on this one
@@WhiskyInThe6 lucky man, you must have the older version then!
+Gordon Dramsay yep 2013 and 2015
No Grandeur’s out here! Tried the 18 Tawny Single Cask & really liked it.
Jason Fisk I gotta get one of those.
Whisky In The 6 See what we can do!
Haven't tried the "Grandeur'" yet, though it bares a French name, lol !
+Grégoire SARAFIAN Lol
Thousand dollar bottles? I top out at $276, or usually a lot less...
+foodquig ya I usually do unless I can move some things around.
Grandeur batch 9 sounds fantastic.
Malt Reviews it’s delicious
“I might need to find a back-up bottle of this $1000 whisky” lol... You Torontonians are so funny.
+Dylan Northrup 🤪
+Dylan Northrup sorry? I had to move a bunch of stuff around. Plus I work three jobs to feed my habit lol.

I wish i have tast the grandeur for more than half onz.
+stephane gagnon it’s delicious
Love these roundowns =)
+per kristian sandgren thank you sir.
I just bought this and Glengoyne 30 (2017). This is really good but it makes my stomach hot :))
+tun win the Grandeur makes your stomach burn?
Whisky In The 6 Yes a little but delicious
I agree 💯💯💯
Man it’s a dream to try the 24 year old
Very nice!
+Bourbinsane cheers
