  • Pere Magloire VSOP North Islay Cask Finish

    A lovely nutty, buttery and slightly coastal nature imbued here which really compliment the sweet apple and nutty French oak nature of the core Calvados. 85/100 Continue reading

  • Glenallachie 11 Years Old 2009 Single Cask 3728

    Full of honey and fruit from the Sauternes cask maturation, good malty body present here too which persists through to the finish. Delicious. 86/100 Continue reading

  • Cambus 28 Years Old 1991 Single Cask

    Great on the palate despite inherent thinness of grain whisky, touch funky on the nose and slightly over-woody. Water made this spicier and woodier so I’d drink it as it comes. 82/100 Continue reading

  • Benromach 10 Years Old

    Benromach’s entry level malt is still a complex and fascinating dram full of malty barley, fruity spirit and sweet & spiced cask derived flavours. Superb, possibly one of the best 10 year old standard expressions available. 84/100 Continue reading

  • Hatozaki Blended

    I really rather enjoyed this one. At first it seems quite simple, light and delicate but therein lies its beauty. Immensely drinkable and reminds me of some great and now hard to find or afford Japanese single malts. 84/100 Continue reading

  • Egan’s Legacy Reserve 17 Years Old

    Superbly smooth and very sweet and fleshy/juicy stone fruits abound, like biting into ripe peach, apricot and Nashi pears. Wonderful. 87/100 Continue reading
