Whisky distilled, matured for a minimum of 3 years and bottled in Scotland
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
Dailuaine 12 Years Old 2008 PX Finish Whisky Review: Thick and dark dram, full of coffee cake, tiramisu and black forest gateaux. That heavy and touch sulphury Dailuaine character here adds meat to the fibrous nutty and ground coffee nature. Again a perfect balance is struck between weighty PX influence and spirit nature. 86/100
Tullibardine 14 Years Old 2006 Rum Finish Whisky Review: A real sweet-tooth’s delight, the 7 years in ex-Rum has dolloped dessert all over this whisky. A little like ice-cream with a dram poured over it the whisky starts to seep out of this later displaying a great balance between initial and later cask maturations. 89/100
Caperdonich 22 Years Old Whisky Review: A real cake of a dram, there is some tropical fruit notes and plenty of tannic oaky spice which reveals its age. Coupled with that odd acidity and over tannic oak I can’t help but be reminded of mango balsamic vinegar. 91/100
Isle of Jura 28 Years Old 1992 whisky review: Initially quite a quiet and unassuming dram but not closed. Distillate driven, though there are some good additions here from the cask that has mellowed this spirit over the 28 years. The end result is dangerously drinkable.
