Super soft and approachable, this single cask organic barley from Bruichladdich is packed full of fruits bordering on tropicality, gentle malted barley and that characteristic Atlantic minerality.

Mortlach 17 Years Old 1997 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection 12849
Rather underwhelming this one, I suspected this was perhaps a 3rd or 4th refill cask as only exhausted oak wood notes come out. 83/100
Mortlach 17 Years Old 1997 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection 7176
Another lovely fruity and spirit-forward Mortlach, some obvious vanilla/bourbon influence here but works well together, great mouthfeel on this one and the odd metallic note here and there. 85/100
Egan’s Legacy Reserve 17 Years Old
Superbly smooth and very sweet and fleshy/juicy stone fruits abound, like biting into ripe peach, apricot and Nashi pears. Wonderful. 87/100
Glen Moray 17 Years Old 2003 Chardonnay Cask 7670
Glen Moray 17 Years Old 2003 Chardonnay Cask Whisky Review: Pretty full on at cask strength this is packed with fruits and tannins, with water some peppery spice still remains. 85/100
Glen Grant 17 Years Old 1995 Dimensions
Glen Grant 17 Years Old 1995 Dimensions whisky review: Surprisingly good, lots of thick vanilla and well developed fruity flavours in here, delicious! 86/100
Clynelish 1992 Distillers Edition
Clynelish 1992 Distillers Edition Whisky Review: Hmm this one felt very much like a work in progress to me, perhaps not overtly influenced by the Oloroso Seco finish or perhaps 16 years of previous maturation required slightly more rather than slightly less than 12 months finishing period? Still a classically waxy and flavourful Clynelish. 84/100
Auchroisk 17 Years Old 1996 Treasurer’s Selection
A 17yo Single cask Auchroisk bottled by Robert Graham. Well imprinted with Auchroisk fruity distillery character. 83/100
Balvenie 17 Years Old Doublewood
More refined and deeper Doublewood experience from The Balvenie. 86/100
