Glendronach (old dumpy bottle)8Speyside62390Wonderful nose with notes of banana, citrus fruits and mint, also a hint of peat; mild, sweet and a little spicy palate with notes of citrus fruits and banana 
 
GlendronachPic12Speyside70781Nice, fragrant nose with dry, spicy sherry, dried fruits and a note of turpentine; rich yet surprisingly dry palate, quite spicy and disappointing after the nice nose (the oak and dried fruits remind me of Spanish brandy)

E Highland   85Slightly harsh, young nose but has an interesting fruitiness; opens up w/ water and loses the harshness; quite nice palate w/ an unusual candy-like fruitiness with grape fruit (pink? hehe)
Glendronach 46%Pic15Speyside80888Very nice fragrant nose with plenty of sherry and a note of linseed oil; complex and very nice palate - rich and sweet with dried fruits, also a little spicy with ginger, cloves (richer, more powerful than its 40% predecessor) 
 
Glendronach 46%Pic18Speyside70787Subtle, complex nose with spices and citrus, also oak and dried fruits (prunes and figs) - a bit like a Spanish brandy; mild, complex palate, fairly dry and oaky (a little too oaky actually) but with nice notes of gingerbread and peppermint
