  • Glengoyne Teapot Dram Batch 7

    Glengoyne Teapot Dram Batch 7 whisky review: Spicy, which I’m not a huge fan of – but I can appreciate here. European oak influence in abundance, young and vibrant and very sherried. Carries a nice tannic/chewy rancio-like quality. Probably not… Continue reading

  • Glengoyne Legacy Series Chapter 1

    Glengoyne Legacy Series Chapter 1 whisky review: Wonderfully rich and full of character, plenty of Oloroso sherry cask but a little fruity distillate character still shine through, superb! 89/100 Continue reading

  • Daftmill 11 Years Old 2008 The Whisky Bars of Scotland

    Daftmill 2008 Single Cask The Whisky Bars of Scotland Whisky Review: Well-received by other tasters, almost a complete opposite to the last dram (Imperial). Unfortunately for me this didn’t taste right and had me thinking of early Kininvie releases. Something… Continue reading

  • Imperial 20 Years Old 1995 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection

  • Penderyn Peated

    Penderyn Peated Whisky Review: This has grown on me a lot since my last tasting of this expression. The smoke seems much more subtle, present on the nose and delightfully in the finish but ethereal on the palate. 85/100 Continue reading

  • Penderyn Madeira Finish

    Penderyn Madeira Finish whisky review: Better than previous memory apart from the metallic copper in the finish which detracts slightly for me, love how the nose and palate have developed more into peach and sweeties territory. 82/100 Continue reading

  • Clynelish 18 Years Old 1993 Rare Select

    Clynelish 18 Years Old 1993 Rare Select whisky review: Much deeper and sharper than the previous expression with lots of lovely zesty spices, this feels much more mature than the last one despite being younger? 87/100 Continue reading

  • Clynelish 21 Years Old Batch 7

    Clynelish 21 Years Old Batch 7 whisky review: A touch spicy and drying, some peppery character mixed with the cinnamon spice and some sweet honey, I feel I’m picking at hairs here but for its age this seemed a little… Continue reading
