  • Glendronach 23 Years Old 1995 PX Puncheon 3040

    The GlenDronach 23 Years Old 1995 PX Puncheon #3040 whisky review: A fantastic PX matured expression from GlenDronach, rich, malty and full-bodied with polished antique oak, spice and dark fruits. It is clear to see where the fame and appetite… Continue reading

  • Miltonduff 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask

    Miltonduff 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask whisky review: A delightful cask strength and relatively straightforward/unfussy expression. The cask has had plenty of influence here as you would expect from 1st fill, making this very palateable. The balance is… Continue reading

  • Miltonduff 9 Years Old 2007 Provenance

    Miltonduff 9 Years Old 2007 Provenance whisky review: Fruity with ginger spice and plenty of cereal influence – pretty solid for a reasonably young expression. 82/100 Continue reading

  • Tobermory 24 Years Old 1994 The Single Cask

    Tobermory 24 Years Old 1994 The Single Cask whisky review: A very drinkable refill? sherry butt matured Tobermory. The nose and the palate show hints of that metallic/radiator nature of Tobermory’s spirit and some vaporosity – followed by brown/woody sugars,… Continue reading

  • Glendronach 10 Years Old Port Wood

    The GlenDronach Port Wood whisky review: Not too sweet and not to sharp, very well balanced. Syrupy and smooth textured with a good weight from GlenDronach’s malty backbone, this feels perfectly constructed. 84/100 Continue reading

  • Tobermory 12 Years Old

    Tobermory 12 Years Old whisky review: Full of dark sugars, ripe fruits and a hint of spiced pepper, much sharper than the stalwart 10 year old expression but with those flashes of unmistakabley Tobermory qualities. 84/100 Continue reading

  • Glen Keith 20 Years Old 1992 Closed Distilleries

    Glen Keith 20 Years Old 1992 Closed Distilleries whisky review: Starts beautifully and I had high hopes this was a great drinker at 58%, however the strength belies and oddly perfumed nature on the tail end which was just a… Continue reading

  • Cragganmore 1997 Distillers Edition

    Cragganmore 1997 Distillers Edition whisky review: A touch more citric spirit and musty Port cask than usual but still a great expression, loving the strawberry and lime combination in this expression and the general fluffy and jammy sweet qualities. 86/100 Continue reading

  • Strathmill 22 Years Old 1991 Berrys’

    Strathmill 22 Years Old 1991 Berrys’ whisky review: Showing its age with subtle signs of overipe and bordering on tropical fruit influences and also that trace of Highland/Speyside peat that seems to have dropped out of use/favour over the next… Continue reading
