The Ealanta was matured in "heavily toasted" casks, while this GlenDronach's cask was likely Char City. Ealanta is more graceful, yet a little sleepy. This single cask is muscular but a little clumsy. It's been a bit too powerful to sip as the summer arrives. I like them both, but I'd still take the Astar (R.I.P.) over these two.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-61850700101182206602015-06-24T13:11:24.365-04:002015-06-24T13:11:24.365-04:00I was wondering how this compared to Glenmorangie ...I was wondering how this compared to Glenmorangie Ealanta and looks like you gave them both the same score.
