Takes a drop of water well, still some dry peppery spices present but deliciously sweet and fruity throughout this one. 86/100
Arran 21 Years Old 1996 The Single Cask (52.1%, Claxton’s, Sherry Puncheon #1843-939, 609 Bottles, 2018)
Cameronbridge 21 Years Old 1997 (54.4%, James Eadie, Refill HH #75792, 265 Bottles, 2018)
Cameronbridge 21 Years Old 1997 James Eadie Whisky Review: Quite simple, oaky with plenty of vanilla and coconut, no surprise this was a single grain or that it was matured in a refill hogshead, still quite harsh and solventy for its age. 76/100
Ben Nevis 21 Years Old 1990 Ruby Port Cask Finish (59.8%, OB, Ruby Port Cask #3/10/4, 825 Bottles, 2012)
Ben Nevis 21 Years Old 1990 Ruby Port Cask Finish Whisky Review: An impressive colour and palate to match. Quite woody and challenging initially, needs to breathe or a drop of water to relax it a little. An unforgettable single cask expression from Ben Nevis. 85/100
Ben Nevis 21 Years Old Batch 8 (48.9%, TBWC, 931 Bottles, 2019)
Ben Nevis 21 Years Old Batch 8 Whisky Review: Odd, fruity and metallic, earthy, nothing in any one direction but clearly unbalanced, but I still quite like it. 85/100
Glenrothes 21 Years Old 1993 Kumquat Cluster (46%, Wemyss Malts, Sherry Butt #3343, 730 Bottles, 2014)
Glenrothes 21 Years Old 1993 Kumquat Cluster Whisky Review: A superb tropical fruit and cream dessert of a whisky, reminding me of some fantastic home-made cheesecakes. 91/100
Glenburgie 21 Years Old Black Friday 2019 Edition (53.1%, The Whisky Exchange, 1800 Bottles, 2019)
Glenburgie 21 Years Old Black Friday 2019 Edition Whisky Review: OK, better at cask strength though tinny. Good tropicality showing age in fruit but feels like quite an underactive cask and a bit of an odd choice. With water becomes sharper, more limey and spicy with cinnamon. 85/100
Bruichladdich 21 Years old 1992 Dimensions (49.7%, Duncan Taylor, Cask #3987, 214 Bottles, 2014)
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
Clynelish 21 Years Old Batch 7 (47.8%, TBWC, 1174 bottles, 2019)
Clynelish 21 Years Old Batch 7 whisky review: A touch spicy and drying, some peppery character mixed with the cinnamon spice and some sweet honey, I feel I’m picking at hairs here but for its age this seemed a little un-diverse or plain. 86/100
Royal Salute 21 Years Old Signature Blend (40%, OB, 2017)
Royal Salute 21 Years Old Signature Blend whisky review: Rich, deep and powerful flavours for a blended whisky. Quite distinctive with heavy chocolate, fruit and nut character deriving from sherry cask usage. 86/100
Caperdonich 21 Years old 1994 Xtra Old Particular (57.7%, Douglas Laing, Cask #10769, 270 Bottles, 2015)
Caperdonich 21 Years old 1994 Xtra Old Particular whisky review: Quite spiced but in a really great way, massive old/tropical fruits in this one. A little camphory towards the end perhaps indicative of not the best i.e. 2nd/3rd fill or later cask but this is still good stuff and adds character rather than detracts from this whisky. 88/100
