Whisky Reviews
Bruichladdich 13 Years Old 2002 Old Particular Whisky Review: Spirit driven though there are hints of vanilla and spice from the cask noticeable in places, orchard fruits, honey and slightly coastal salt-caramel prevail, great. 85/100
Tobermory 23 Years Old 1995 The Single Cask Whisky Review ABV: 54.2% Age: 23 Years Old Bottling: The Single Cask Category: Island single malt scotch whisky Cost: £145 available from The Single […]
Writers Tears Cask Strength 2018 Edition whisky review: An interesting foray into cask strength Irish Whisky. Approachable at presentation strength and just that little bit more flavourful and intense on the palate. Thankfully everything is soft and well presented here making this very drinkable and enjoyable. 85/100
Glen Moray 16 Years Old 2004 Burgundy Cask #213 Whisky review: Definitely my favourite of the trio. Richer and deeper in flavours though the same tannic spice is here it is a little more balanced against the wine cask here and the malty spirit nature is hardly noticable holding it all together. 86/100
Glen Moray 16 Years Old 2004 Chenin Blanc Cask #341 Whisky Review: Another full bodied and intense expression. Again quite tannic and spicy, with water this moves into fruit & chalk but still that must/old rubber persists throughout. 84/100
Glen Moray 17 Years Old 2003 Chardonnay Cask Whisky Review: Pretty full on at cask strength this is packed with fruits and tannins, with water some peppery spice still remains. 85/100
Fiona Macleod 33 Years Old Whisky Review: Beautiful, full of chalky tropical fruits and such perfume I’ll eat my hat if this isn’t an old Bowmore. 91/100
Grace Île 25 Years Old Whisky Review: A superb and elemntal Islay dram with cured meat, peat ash, brine and plenty of malted barley – drinks like an old Caol Ila. 92/100
Green Isle Whisky Review: A great blend predominated by a distinct coastal Islay character, plenty of fruity apples and also lots of vanilla and oak influence here too. 84/100
Tomintoul 15 Years Old 2005 Amontillado Finish Whisky Review: A much more delicate dram than the Dailuaine, more typically speyside and slightly more typically sherried here also. Leather and sun-dried fruits combine with plenty of orange zest and hazelnut. 88/100
