Despite being a huge GlenDronach fan I am inclined to agree with Markjedi that it is good but not great. At the same time, I do have those moments where I really crave an "in between" with light to…

Nose: Different. Warm, sweet, nose. Winey/Grape, and faint chocolate overtop of a faint grassy floral malt. Taste: the Amarone "dry red" wine influence really takes over and seems to overpower the malt…
