Clynelish 28 Years Old 1989 Connoisseurs Choice
Clynelish 1989 Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength whisky review: A rather old and slightly unusual Clynelish expression bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. It has a touch of that famous waxy nature and oodles of tropical fruit as you would expect from… Continue reading

Dailuaine 15 Years Old Batch 2
Dailuaine 15 Years Old Batch 2 (That Boutique-Y Whisky Company) whisky review: Pleasing and fairly full in the palate, almost a meal in a glass – if that meal is pancakes for breakfast. A great example of a Dailuaine with… Continue reading

Pulteney 1998 Connoisseurs Choice
Pulteney 1998 Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength whisky review: This single ex-bourbon barrel matured Pulteney expression reveals some interesting facets including Pulteney’s delicious coastal salt influence and in this example quite a savoury lemon & thyme mixture. 87/100 Continue reading

Aberfeldy 25 Years Old 1993 Connoisseurs Choice
Aberfeldy 1993 Connoisseurs Choice whisky review: A beautifully sherried Aberfeldy, dry and leathery with plenty of dark fruits and chocolate, with water this opens up a lot more and just gets better. 88/100 Continue reading

The Lost Distilleries Blend Batch 11 whisky review: A lovely blend that smacks of aged stock and I wouldn’t have been surprised if this was blended (or even single) malt. Quite a complex dram but that is unsurprising considering choice… Continue reading

Glenrothes 1974 Private Collection
Glenrothes 1974 Private Collection whisky review: A delicious nose and initial palate on this old Glenrothes before the sherry wood really takes over, a shame really as if it reserved a little body and sweetness throughout this could be an… Continue reading

Inverleven 1985 Private Collection
Inverleven 1985 Private Collection whisky review: A lovely old ex-bourbon matured expression, unfortunately I have little frame of reference for this as I haven’t previously sampled Inverleven output. Certainly display’s its age and is full of lively and entertaining flavours… Continue reading

Glengoyne 21 Years Old
Glengoyne 21 Years Old whisky review: A sherry-packed dram with masses of sun-dried fruit and cocoa with just a hint of gentle spices. Comparing against the Teapot dram, the age of the 21 was apparent due to the old/dry and… Continue reading

Glengoyne 18 Years Old
Glengoyne 18 Years Old whisky review: A remarkably mature and well-balanced dram this one reveals itself slowly so demands you slow down and take time over it. Reserved and refined rather than a sherry bomb, 1st fill casks have been… Continue reading
