  • Jura Two-One-Two

    Jura Two-One-Two whisky review: Delicious! A great classic Jura expression full of coastal salinity and sweetness and that wonderfully complex toffee/latte coffee mixture and even a complimentary hint of mint present in this. 86/100 Continue reading

  • Fettercairn 12 Years Old Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Edition

    Fettercairn 12 Years Old Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Edition whisky review: I preferred the standard 12 year old, the nose has some extra fruit and florality but the PX flavours don’t really shine through here just add a little extra… Continue reading

  • Scapa 30 Years Old 1988 Connoisseurs Choice

    Scapa 30 Years Old 1988 Connoisseurs Choice whisky review: Sweet, complex, mineralic and spiced. Surely full of Scapa character whatever that may be? This has been well-aged in a refill cask but still retains some rather unusual and unique flavours.… Continue reading

  • Auchroisk 12 Years Old Batch 7

    Auchroisk 12 Years Old Batch 7 whisky review: Another great Speyside expression, good spirit character and balance of light/refill cask influence, this one becomes quite savoury and salty on this finish giving it a nice twist. 83/100 Continue reading

  • Speyside #3 8 Years Old Batch 1

    Speyside No. 3 8 Years Old Batch 1 whisky review: Much discussion about the origins of this one took place with the overwhelming opinion being that this probably hailed from Glenrothes distillery. As TBWC have previously bottled & named Glenrothes… Continue reading

  • Teaninich 11 Years Old Batch 2

    Teaninich 11 Years Old Batch 2 Whisky Review: Very spirit driven, just the lightest hints of 3rd refill cask going on here after 11 years. Still great, the time has tamed the distillate and removed any metallic copper character but… Continue reading

  • Linkwood 10 Years Old A Fine Christmas Malt 2019

    A Fine Christmas Malt 2019 whisky review: Hard to fault Billy’s tasting notes which describe this one perfectly. This whisky is full of fairground or sweetie shop or possibly even Christmas market flavours such as classic donuts, nut brittle and… Continue reading

  • Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc Finish

    Auchentoshan Sauvignon Blanc Finish Whisky Review: I haven’t been a huge fan of Auchentoshan for a while, or rather I haven’t had an OB expression that I could really say I liked or enjoyed from their older range. Admittedly I… Continue reading

  • Tobermory 21 Years Old 1996 Old Particular 11768

    Tobermory 21 Years Old 1996 Old Particular whisky review: Very drinkable old drying, woody, salty and smokey, musty then tropical. Has plenty of that Tobermory oddness like metallic old radiators, which it teeters on the edge of. The end results… Continue reading

  • Edradour 12 Years Old 2003 Natural Cask Strength 11th Release

    Edradour 12 Year Old 2003 11th Release Bourbon Cask Matured whisky review: Straightforward, massive bourbon maturation, hints of apples, cereal and butter from the spirit but this is mostly cask for me, takes water very well. 85/100 Continue reading
