Bruichladdich 13 Years Old 2002 Old Particular Whisky Review: Spirit driven though there are hints of vanilla and spice from the cask noticeable in places, orchard fruits, honey and slightly coastal salt-caramel prevail, great. 85/100 Continue reading

Glen Moray 16 Years Old 2004 Burgundy Cask 213
Glen Moray 16 Years Old 2004 Burgundy Cask #213 Whisky review: Definitely my favourite of the trio. Richer and deeper in flavours though the same tannic spice is here it is a little more balanced against the wine cask here… Continue reading

Glen Moray 16 Years Old 2004 Chenin Blanc Cask 341
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 Continue reading

Dailuaine 12 Years Old 2008 PX Finish
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.… Continue reading

Tullibardine 14 Years Old 2006 Rum Finish
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… Continue reading
