  • John Crabbie 28 Years Old 1992 Speyside

    A powerful, fragrant dram full of fruit and flowers, distinct spirit character throughout that was really rather inviting. Wood varnish and tropical fruits abound. 91/100 Continue reading

  • Glendronach 27 Years Old 1992 Port Pipe 5897

    Full of dark chocolate, rose and some well-integrated fruit flavours such as plum and fig, surprisingly well-balanced and not too sweet for a port maturation, with woody and spirit influences presented to perfection. 91/100 Continue reading

  • Jura 28 Years Old 1992 Single Cask 1857

    Isle of Jura 28 Years Old 1992 whisky review: Initially quite a quiet and unassuming dram but not closed. Distillate driven, though there are some good additions here from the cask that has mellowed this spirit over the 28 years.… Continue reading

  • Littlemill 27 Years Old 1992 Vintage

    Littlemill 1992 Vintage Whisky Review: Superb, aged and woody but still with a great sweetness and florality which is really fresh for its age. Fruity and zesty too in places, overwhelmingly maple syrup plus a wee hint of smoke and… Continue reading

  • Bruichladdich 21 Years Old 1992 Dimensions

    Bruichladdich 21 Years old 1992 Dimensions whisky review: An unusually quiet expression, very restrained, a touch minty which worries me of a slightly underactive 3rd fill+ cask perhaps?  83/100 Continue reading

  • Glen Grant 20 Years Old 1992 Dimensions

    Glen Grant 20 Years Old 1992 Dimensions whisky review: Sweet and dry with a palate much softer than the nose. Plenty of fruity spirit influence in here again. 86/100 Continue reading

  • 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… Continue reading

  • Glen Keith 20 Years Old 1992 Closed Distilleries

    Glen Keith 20 Years Old 1992 Closed Distilleries whisky review: Starts beautifully and I had high hopes this was a great drinker at 58%, however the strength belies and oddly perfumed nature on the tail end which was just a… Continue reading

  • Ardbeg 21 Years Old 1992 Single Cask 430

    Ardbeg’s peaty beast of a spirit has been truly tamed in this single cask expression. The Hogshead has worked masses of sweet and creamy vanilla into this whisky, however a slightly metallic tang remains that could have arisen in the… Continue reading

  • SMWS 73.69 Dark side eclipsed by sweet joys

    Good ex-sherry influence, not too strong but masks most of the spirit character. That Aultmore grassy/apple/malt flavour is missing. With a little water this whisky falls apart, it becomes a little more vanilla and creamier but with an over-stretched elastic… Continue reading
