| Had a few of the Glendronach single cask bottlings and all have been excellent that i have had including the Glendronach 1994 18 year old batch 7 from a oloroso sherry butt which was released the end of last year and it was an outstanding dram, highly recommend it if you can get hold of a bottle. |

I've had the 19year old 1993 PX cask (cask 26) last year. It was very nice and well worth the price, I think it was about £65. Value for money it gets a tick from me.
I did find that the PX overwhelmed the whisky a bit too much though, it may have been that particular cask and others may be ok, but if I were going to have another single cask I'd punt for an Oloroso cask as it's a lighter sherry and has a tamer effect on the whisky.
I know that a bunch of single casks last year all scored in the 90's in Jim Murrays 2013 bible and my experience with them has been good. _________________ "Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whisky is barely enough." |

| I see that all of the latest batch has sold out over at TWE all except the most expensive one Glendronach 1971 42 Year Old |

| Every Glendronach Single Cask I have tasted has been outstanding. |

| If you are referring to PX sherry cask #3547 (UK exclusive) from May 2013 I have to say that is typical GlenDronach single cask but a bit on the rough side comparing to bottles from this year's Batch 8. |
