anCnoc 12 Years Old
A great all-round whisky that introduces you to anCnoc’s range, a lovely mid-weight floral, barley and honeyed fruit, in places more floral, sour and bitter slightly than we last remembered. 84/100 Continue reading

BenRiach 21 Years Old Temporis
Persistently spicy like dried chill flakes but never builds, a base of thick clotted vanilla cream and highland toffee provide the perfect foil to the peaty mineralic and spicy elements. 90/100 Continue reading

Glen Moray 6 Years Old 2010 PX Cask 99917
Reminded me of a rather good peated and sherried Kildalton malt I shan’t name; but I suggest Glen Moray name this whisky “Morgeadail” ;-D 88/100 Continue reading

Glenlivet 27 Year Old Batch 1
Oh yum yum yum yum! An old, elegant Glenlivet, a delightfully aromatic nose and then pure pleasure on the palate with wonderful fruits, malt and oak. 92/100 Continue reading

Riverflow
A very enjoyable and accomplished mystery Speyside expression with a palate that is slightly thick with honey and syrup, a great single malt at the price! 84/100 Continue reading

Miltonduff 10 Years Old Distillery Labels
A pleasant expression which even at 40% ABV reveals different facets with or without a drop of water added. Personally I feel it’s strength lies in the relaxed & softened baked fruit and honey character, so preferred this one after… Continue reading
