Glencadam 32 Years Old 1975 The Single Cask Collection
Very smooth, woody sugars and tropical fruits as one would expect for a whisky of this age, slightly tannic and drying oak wood influences too, massively enjoyable! 89/100 Continue reading

Riverflow
A very enjoyable and accomplished mystery Speyside expression with a palate that is slightly thick with honey and syrup, a great single malt at the price! 84/100 Continue reading

Clynelish 14 Years Old
Well balanced, deliciously waxy and mouth-coating this whisky is more about the textures and balance of elements than actual flavour. Remains a classic and a worthy addition to any shelf or collection. 85/100 Continue reading

Williamson 6 Years Old 2010 Strictly Limited
Delicious *Laphroaig* briny peat smoke and sweetened sherried maltiness at its finest. These Islay whiskies really do drink well young before the peat influence dissipates with over-maturation. 87/100 Continue reading

Glentauchers 17 Years Old Batch 2
A very nice example of standard Glentauchers output, carries some good malt, toffee and fruit and those more uncommon herbal and spice notes too. 83/100 Continue reading
