Pacory Calvados Domfrontais Hors d’Age (42%, OB, 2019)
Pacory Calvados Domfrontais Hors d’Age Calvados Review: Very fruity and fresh, slightly ascerbic and drying fresh oak influence with masses of vanilla throughout to complement the sweetness of the fruits. 85/100
Aerstone 10 Years Old Sea Cask (40%, OB, 2018)
Aerstone 10 Years Old Sea Cask whisky review: Preferred over the land cask expression, this one feels much more integrated and balanced, some great flavours developing here and also a promise of things to come – I’d love to see these grow into 12, 15 or 18 year old expressions! 82/100
Aerstone 10 Years Old Land Cask (40%, OB, 2018)
Aerstone 10 Years Old Land Cask whisky review: An interesting expression with potential, however this still feels a little rough around the edges and reminded me of some not so savoury HP expressions I have sampled in the past where the peat influence is too dry and over-dominant. For an entry-level (£20) supermarket whisky this carries a lot more flavours than most – vanilla this certainly isn’t! 81/100

Glenfarclas 12 Year Old Drinks by the Dram whisky review: Possible from a refill casks this is full of sherry, butter and fruit in the classic Glenfarclas style. A touch of wood smoke or cask char keeps this entertaining.84/100
