Kilkerran 8 Years Old Open Day 2016
Great whisky but towards the end becomes a little spirit and youthfull outliving its sherry cask maturation – thankfully like all great whisky this is tamed with a drop of water which just improves things all-round. 87/100 Continue reading

Springbank 9 Years Old 2006 Open Day
Gentle & light!, refreshing, sun-baked leather, salt, dry new wood all combine to be quite palate cleansing, not your average Springbank it would seem! 85/100 Continue reading

Springbank 16 Years Old 1991 Rum Wood
Quite savoury in places and redolent of lots of nice cooking/cookery ingredients, herbal, nutty and zesty make a great combination, quite moreish too. 90/100 Continue reading
