Ben Nevis 21 Years Old 1990 Ruby Port Cask Finish Whisky Review: An impressive colour and palate to match. Quite woody and challenging initially, needs to breathe or a drop of water to relax it a little. An unforgettable single cask expression from Ben Nevis. 85/100
Mackmyra 5 Years Old Batch 2 Whisky Review: Deliciously floral and fruity, I love Makmyra’s quirky nature and this has it in droves despite the simple cask maturation. 86/100
Penderyn 6 Years Old Batch 1 Whisky Review: Syrupy and sweet, very drinkable but also very spiced on the palate. Contains an odd soapiness before the sherried fruits arrive. An odd little number indeed. 84/100

The Whiskymaker’s Editions Colheita Whisky Review: Very drinkable, a good intensity of aromas and flavours. This reminds me a lot of a good oaky and fruity red wine, perhaps the most easily approachable/drinkable expression so far from the Lakes Distillery. 84/100
Cragganmore 2003 Distillers Edition Whisky Review: Feeling a little thin in texture at 40% ABV but otherwise lovely soft fruits and cereals and that gentle suggestion of smoke & spices. 83/100
Ben Nevis 21 Years Old Batch 8 Whisky Review: Odd, fruity and metallic, earthy, nothing in any one direction but clearly unbalanced, but I still quite like it. 85/100
