Full of jammy red fruits, peat smoke and oily coastal influences, mixed to perfection. 88/100
Whisky distilled, matured for a minimum of 3 years and bottled in Scotland
Full of jammy red fruits, peat smoke and oily coastal influences, mixed to perfection. 88/100
A lovely expression full of salted caramel and soft peat smoke. 85/100
A delicious sweetie shop dram thanks to the PX maturation, absolutely delightful. 85/100
A very drinkable expression full of vanilla and fruits and reasonably wood light, more tropical on the nose than the palate. 84/100
Full of honey and fruit from the Sauternes cask maturation, good malty body present here too which persists through to the finish. Delicious. 86/100
Great on the palate despite inherent thinness of grain whisky, touch funky on the nose and slightly over-woody. Water made this spicier and woodier so I’d drink it as it comes. 82/100
Benromach’s entry level malt is still a complex and fascinating dram full of malty barley, fruity spirit and sweet & spiced cask derived flavours. Superb, possibly one of the best 10 year old standard expressions available. 84/100
Another characteristically fruity Arran dram, still quite spicy and perhaps a little less sweet and vanillic most likely due to the use of a refill hogshead for maturation here. 84/100
Takes a drop of water well, still some dry peppery spices present but deliciously sweet and fruity throughout this one. 86/100
Another hugely enjoyable expression from Talisker, sadly discontinued but thankfully this appears to have been replaced with strong and youthful Talisker’s featuring in Diageo’s special releases – hopefully one day I’ll get to try them. 89/100
