Barry Bradford
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.
Glengoyne Teapot Dram Batch 7 (59.9%, OB, 3993 Bottles, 2019)
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 my favourite of the Teapot drams I have tried so far but very worthy of the name. 89/100
Glengoyne Legacy Series Chapter 1 (48%, OB, 2019)
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

Daftmill 11 Years Old 2008 The Whisky Bars of Scotland (55.5%, OB, Bourbon Cask 068/2008, 160 bottles, 2019)
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 in this suggested poor distillation or perhaps over-oxidation? Very buttery. 68/100
Imperial 20 Years Old 1995 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection (46%, Signatory, HH 50248 & 50249, 2016)
Imperial 20 Years Old 1995 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection whisky review: A fascinating dram, possibly the least favoured by many at the table but also disappeared the fastest! Make of that what you will, this dram was much more funky and dusty then the final dram of the evening… 87/100
Penderyn Peated (46%, OB, 2019)
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
Penderyn Sherrywood (46%, OB, 2019)
Penderyn Sherrywood Whisky Review: A much more balanced expression than an out and out Sherrybomb! 83/100
Penderyn Madeira Finish (46%, OB, 2019)
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
