Glenglassaugh 10 Years Old 2009 Single Cask 1346
Very rich and full of nutty and creamy vanilla toffee, that core tropicality is there as well as a distinct coastal influence. 86/100 Continue reading

Laphroaig 10 Years Old Cask Strength Batch 12
Nom nom nom. Another fantastic Laphroaig cask strength expression with all sorts of weird fruitiness showing up in the depths of this alcohol. Perhaps if watered down this would reveal even more but frankly it really didn’t need it! 87/100 Continue reading

Aerolite Lyndsay 10 Years Old
Aerolite Lyndsay 10 Years Old whisky review: A fairly complex construction leave classic Islay peat and maritime influence and me guessing at distillery character, I guess the point here is to focus on some of the great characteristics of Islay… Continue reading

Linkwood 10 Years Old Batch 7
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 Continue reading

Inchmurrin 10 Years Old 2008 Heathrow Exclusive
Inchmurrin 10 Years Old 2008 Heathrow Exclusive whisky review: Good nose but a little light on the palate/body for me and quite spicy, made palatable by accompanying sweetness. 80/100 Continue reading
