Would I buy a bottle? Possibly, this would make a great daily drinker or “go to” bottle.
Thoughts: This was a nice, standard bottling from GlenDronach. Simple but a nice balance of the sherry and malt. It’s very approachable and if you can get it for 40-50 dollars, it makes for a good value for a house bottle or to share with someone just getting into their whisky journey.
