Strathisla 18 Years Old 1997 Samaroli Whisky Review: Super fruity, delicate and floral, I would never have guessed a virgin oak cask. 89/100
Tormore 23 Years Old 1995 Whisky Review: A fantastic combination of juicy tropical fruits, drying tannic leather and soft, gentle, ginger cake spice, superb. 88/100
Glenburgie 21 Years Old Black Friday 2019 Edition Whisky Review: OK, better at cask strength though tinny. Good tropicality showing age in fruit but feels like quite an underactive cask and a bit of an odd choice. With water becomes sharper, more limey and spicy with cinnamon. 85/100
Linkwood 18 Years Old 1997 Old Malt Cask Whisky Review: Still fairly basic with much spirit lead flavour akin to the 10 year old, some deeper flavours in here thanks to longer maturation but I’m still not loving this one. 82/100
Linkwood 10 Years Old Batch 7 Whisky Review: Very lemony with an odd salinity and minerality. Under-active casks? Sour spicy and spirity, not for me. 77/100
Glen Moray 2006 Madeira Cask Project Whisky Review: Deliciously rich but not over-sweet, an unsual fruity and malty combination with a creamy delivery. 87/100
The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Years Old Whisky Review: Smooth and cereal rich with a good fruity sweetness. Still on of my favourite introductory whiskies, a pleasure to revisit. 82/100
SMWS 71.38 A cheese-board in a library Whisky Review: Woody and closed but with plenty of aged woody sugars, fruit comes out eventually. Very nice waxiness in this pointing towards the distilleries blending potential perhaps? 90/100
Glenburgie 16 Years Old 1995 Old Malt Cask whisky review: Refreshing and zesty, full of lemon jelly, tart and clarified fruit juices. 84/100
Aultmore 16 Years old 1997 Berrys’ Whisky Review: Wow, melon filled goodness and unmistakable pear drops, super fruity. 87/100
