SMWS 63.49 In the dark of the abyss whisky review: A beautifully over-sherried anything. Sold like hot cakes because of its dark colour. Lots of overtly sherry-like influence only not the good bits. Too spicy, too burnt. Not a trace… Continue reading

SMWS 35.214 Without Pretence
SMWS 35.214 Without Pretence review: Sadly a good example of the numbers on the bottle just not adding up for me. Amazingly ethereal for a 22 year old whisky. Too old to boast much Glen Moray character, too under-active cask… Continue reading

Bimber 2 Years Old Port Cask
London Single Malt Spirit Port 2 Years Old review: Diminishing, from nose to finish. The nose is there or thereabouts, even a lovely musty wood smell that suggest old Port maturing in the cellars. The palate still carries a little… Continue reading

Bimber 2 Years Old Sherry Cask
London Single Malt Spirit Sherry 2 Years Old review: A delicious 2 year old PX matured sample suggest this first ‘Sherry Cask Matured’ expression that is going to be full of the classic nut, toffee and chocolate flavours that PX… Continue reading

Bimber 2 Years Old Signature
London Single Malt Spirit Signature 2 Years Old review: This exuberant 2 year old mixture has certainly developed some flavour that hides its youth. The combination of dried fruit, nut and oak wood calls to mind vintage cars with leather… Continue reading

Bimber New Make Spirit
Bimber New Make Spirit review: For a new make spirit this is remarkably non-lactic and has only a tinge of metallic influence on the palate. Remarkably drinkable at cask filling strength and reasonably robust and tasty too. A promising start! Continue reading

Old Pulteney 18 Years Old
Old Pulteney 18 Years Old whisky review: Reminiscent of the recently discontinued Old Pulteney 17 Year Old, this 18 year old expression from Pulteney distillery has a healthy sherry influence and plenty of wonderful chocolate notes. My overall impression is… Continue reading

Williamson 6 Years Old 2011 Single Cask
Williamson 6 Years Old 2011 Cask #130 whisky review: Probably would have been my dram of the night if the Cask Islay (Caol Ila?) hadn’t been so darned good! A lot earthier in its peat this one and some substantial… Continue reading
