@@gman5986 I unfortunately didn't get to try Batch 10 but the 11 is excellent. Obviously a sherry bomb and it really has a good bit of oak and spicy notes. Great mouth feel and an incredible finish. Can't go wrong in fact I bought 2 bottles of it when I had the chance.
Just grabbed a bottle of this for myself, as today a small amount (I presume) of this batch became available here in Finland. I think I'm going try and have the willpower to save opening it for Christmas. I didn't understand the sad aspect for this occasion, what is the reason for batch 11 being the last CS GlenDronach being featured as whisky of the month?
The Batch 11 was the last time we ever saw this series as a Whisky of the Month. The Batch 12, the final in the series, has been launched in Australia with the Club in as limited Add In only due to much smaller production numbers.
Not a foolish question! As anyone who wears it will likely tell you, lipstick can come off on glasswear/cutlery while you or drink but it doesn't end up in your mouth - so it won't interfere in the whisky tasting process at all :-) On an interesting note, perfume and cologne isn't generally worn by distillery workers and blenders as this of course can interfere.
Batch 11 is stunning. I'm not even past half way on my first bottle and I ordered a second!
It's an exemplary cask strength Sherry Bomb isn't it!
This batch is fantastic. Truly a treat!
How does Batch 11 compare to Batch 10 which seemed to be very popular ?

Looking forward to this one!
There are two Glendronachs... the one with Billy Walker and the one after Billy Walker.
Oof can’t wait for this one 😍

More PX cask in this one, you'll find tasting notes for both on our website 🥃

perhaps a foolish question, but does wearing lipstick interfer in anyway way with tasting?

What about age? How old is it?
This was listed as a No Age Statement release, meaning it's got a mix of anything between 3-12 years in it!
Chill filtration?
Batch 9 was awful, but everything else I’ve had from the brand was exceptional… so I’ll give the Batch 11 a try.
