About me? I am a Whisky Educator, Travel-Tourist and Blogger. I blog tasting notes about (mostly Scotch) beer and whisky at The Whiskyphiles. I keep progress of my travels via the Alfred Barnard Society. Based in Livingston, Scotland I do most of my dramming at the University of Edinburgh Water of Life Society and Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
Adrien Camut 6 Ans d’Age Calvados Pays d’Auge Calvados Review: Another deep and rich expression, plenty of oak wood but with an effervescent/mentholic nature, probably tannic/cask derived? balanced by plenty of rich fruits. 86/100
Michel Huard Vieux Calvados Calvados Review: A superb floral and almost smokey expression, smoked and toasted almonds abound within a rather complex expression. 85/100
Christian Drouin VSOP Calvados Pays d’Auge Calvados Review: A much more classical introductory Calvados here with a fine balance between fruity apple spirit and tannic oak cask influences, grows on the palate. 83/100
Avallen Calvados Calvados Review: A very light and accessible Calvados from Avallen, refreshing and fruity, ideal! 82/100
Roger Groult Reserve Calvados Review: A lovely base expression from Calvados Groult an unusual dried feeling to the fruit/apple in flavour and also texture too. 83/100
Pere Francois VS Calvados Calvados Review: Young and straightforward, good base flavours and sweet enough to be pleasant with a touch of wood & spice. 70/100
Boulard La Cuvée Vincent Calvados Calvados Review: A lovely mixture of soft, baked apples with peppery oak wood spice with some fruity and sour notes too. 84/100
Comte Louis de Lauriston Hors d’Age Calvados Domfrontais Calvados Review: A lighter and finer expression on the palate also a touch spicier and with distinct chocolate notes. 86/100
Tamdhu 8 Years Old 2006 Provenance Whisky Review: A little light, possibly due to maturation in a refill cask? Very milk and vanilla rich. 80/100
