A question regarding Glendronach single casks.

Hello folks. So I'm just sitting here seeing all these new Batch 16 Glendronach single casks sell out in just a matter of minutes in online shops. I know it's getting more and more of a warzone with each release and the prices are going through the roof unfortunately.

Now as a Glendronach fanboy I obviously want some single cask action too. The thing is, you have the official 'batch releases' that come in a nice box and you have the single cask releases that come in your standard tube which are selected for a certain market or a reseller (I have a single cask selected by LMDW as an example) The latter are more commonly available, don't sell out that quick and are generally cheaper opposed to the official batch releases.

I've tasted a handful of these 'tube single casks' and they have been stellar, but I haven't tried the official batch releases. Here's the question: Are the batch releases really that much better than the market specific releases? I know each bottle is different and taste is subjective but I'm inclined to believe the batch releases are superior. Someone who has enough experience with the mighty 'Dro, please share your thoughts. Thank you!
