Comments: 

Dram #1,500, has to be a special one! I chose a Glenury Royal sample that I’d been saving. It’s chock full of old bottle effect, alongside the fruitiness and sweet spiciness that Glenury Royal has. It’s very drinkable, as with most in the Rare Malts range, needs just a smidgen of water. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
