I used to have Glendronach as my favorite high-end single malt, but they finally priced it out of my comfort zone. I stumbled around until I discovered this jewel. As a cask strength rated at just under 121 proof it can be a little warm on the first taste, but that just encourages you to slow down and savor th experience.
The best affordable single malt that I've come across. The entire Aberlour line is outstanding, but if you want more bang for your buck grab a bottle of the 12-year old.
If I can't afford my favorite Scotch (Glendronach) at $100.00 a bottle, I'm more than happy to grab a Redbreast at half the price. I also pefer the 12-year over the 15-year which is out of character for me as I usualy go for the older whskies.
