Arran 6 Years Old PX Sherry Octave Finish – The Octave Project whisky review: On the face of it this had plenty going for it in terms of aroma’s and flavours, I must admit to preferring PX to Oloroso sherry most of the time. Unfortunately this is still too light-bodied to carry these flavours and any previous character has been obliterated. Sadly this PX finish tasted a little force-matured and this whisky’s backbone too weak to take it. 70/100
Arran 6 Years Old Original Bourbon Barrel – The Octave Project whisky review: This 6 year old cask strength bourbon-barrel matured Arran is very light bodied with fresh and fruity spirit and hints of wood. A little bit of a ‘ghost’ whisky, i.e. is it really there? Not a huge amount of character, but fairly light and pleasant enough to carry into the octaves for finishing. 68/100

Roger Groult 11 Years Old Calvados Pays d’Auge Sherry Cask Finish review: Fruity apple, blackcurrant and raspberry followed rapidly by lots of classic sherry; fruitcake, Christmas spices, leather and chocolate influences. My favourite of the three Cask Finish expressions. 88/100

Roger Groult 9 Years Old Calvados Pays d’Auge Whisky Cask Finish review: This expression has much more reserved apple elements, and appears to be more full-bodied with sweet pastry-like mealiness or cereal quality. 87/100
