Scapa 30 Years Old 1988 Connoisseurs Choice
Scapa 30 Years Old 1988 Connoisseurs Choice whisky review: Sweet, complex, mineralic and spiced. Surely full of Scapa character whatever that may be? This has been well-aged in a refill cask but still retains some rather unusual and unique flavours.… Continue reading

Linkwood 10 Years Old A Fine Christmas Malt 2019
A Fine Christmas Malt 2019 whisky review: Hard to fault Billy’s tasting notes which describe this one perfectly. This whisky is full of fairground or sweetie shop or possibly even Christmas market flavours such as classic donuts, nut brittle and… Continue reading

Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc Finish
Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc Finish Whisky Review: I haven’t been a huge fan of Auchentoshan for a while, or rather I haven’t had an OB expression that I could really say I liked or enjoyed from their older range. Admittedly I… Continue reading
