Blair Athol 21 Years Old Batch 5 Whisky Review: Everything gently whispers refill sherry cask from this Blair Athol expression, mostly full of luscious subtleties though a little spice can become dry and overpowering if you let it. 87/100

Whyte & Mackay 50 Years Old 175th Anniversary (44.6%, OB, 1,500 Bottles, 2019)
Whyte & Mackay 50 Years Old 175th Anniversary whisky review: Incredibly juicy and sweet for a whisky of this age, there is plenty of wood as you’d expect but delivered perfectly. I could have spent hours alone just nosing this one even though the palate was just as supreme. 96/100
Tamnavulin 18 Years Old 2000 Vintage (45%, OB, 2019)
Tamnavulin 18 Years Old 2000 Vintage whisky review: A good mix of gentle and sweet Speyside character with heavy sherry maturation, in a similar vein to Aberlour or Macallan outputs. This is a great expression from a relatively sparse offering of official bottlings from Tamnavulin. 85/100
Jura 13 Years Old 2006 Two-One-Two (47.5%, OB, 2019)
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
Fettercairn 12 Years Old Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Edition (40%, OB, 2019)
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 to an already sweet and fruity malt. 73/100
Whyte & Mackay Light (21.5%, OB, 2019)
Whyte & Mackay Light spirit drink review: Great nose, a little watered down thereafter and that complexity really doesn’t come through on the palate which is a real shame as this smells amazing!

New York Distilling Company 2 Year Old Rye Batch 3 (47.7%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 461 Bottles, 2019)
New York Distilling Company 2 Year Old Rye Batch 3 review: A spicy rye but with some real sweetness as well. A really loved that sticky fruity note redolent of maraschino cherries and dark chocolate, almost black forest gateaux just without the cream on this occasion. 84/100
Bourbon Whiskey #1 24 Years Old (48%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 8376 Bottles, 2018)
Bourbon Whiskey #1 24 Years Old: A great old Bourbon, a little woody and spicy in places but still has plenty of sweetness and masses of quite earthy vanilla essence to keep it together. 86/100
