Broger 6 Years Old Batch 1

By Barry Bradford on April 28, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
broger-that-boutiquey-whisky-company-whisky

Oddly solventy, but past that this was really quite interesting and it took some time before I realised the underlying Rauchbier similarity and connection (I do like a rauchbier!) 85/100

Fary Lochan 6 Years Old Batch 1

By Barry Bradford on April 28, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
fary-lochan-that-boutiquey-whisky-company-whisky

Powerful at cask strength, the PX cask has worked wonders here with lots of dried fruit, nut and fruit cake however a little of the malt spirit comes through and some menthol/ herbal smoke appears in the finish. Plenty of wood influence when reduced. 86/100

Eddu 14 Years Old Batch 1

By Barry Bradford on April 28, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
eddu-that-boutiquey-malt-company-spirit

Delicious, redolent of cereal and husks from the Buckwheat this also has some sweet and mineralic nature, perhaps a trace of something metallic later on but doesn’t detract. 87/100

Glen Scotia unveils new limited-edition ‘Festival Release 2022’

By Barry Bradford on April 26, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )

The exquisite 8-year-old expression has been matured in heavily peated, first-fill bourbon barrels before a twelve-month finish in Pedro Ximénès hogsheads, a fortified dessert wine from southern Spain, giving it a perfect balance of gentle smoke, treacle and spice interwoven with Glen Scotia’s signature maritime notes. 

The Gauldrons unveils first Limited Edition Sherry Cask Finish Release

By Barry Bradford on April 26, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
the-gauldrons-sherry-lifestyle-01

Leading distiller, blender and bottler, Douglas Laing & Co, today announce the first ever Limited Edition under their award-winning Campbeltown Malt Scotch Whisky brand: The Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish.

Westland Garryana 2020

By Barry Bradford on April 20, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
westland-single-malt-garryana-5th-edition-whiskey

Complex with plenty of wood influence but also fruity, spicy and chocolate notes abound. Lifted by presentation at 50% ABV this has much more depth and presence than the heritage collection. 86/100

Westland Peated

By Barry Bradford on April 20, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
westland_peated_700ml_hero_with_box_no_reflection_720x

My favourite of the Heritage range expressions which have grown slowly over the range. Plenty of peat influence and smoke but also some estery fruits which complement well. 84/100

Westland Sherry Wood

By Barry Bradford on April 20, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
westland-sherry-wood-whiskey

Plenty of fruit and spice delivered from the sherry wood, perhaps a touch medicated tasting with cherry cough drops. European oak wood flavours dominate the palate. 83/100
