Quite light on the nose with a little more punch and plenty of spices on the palate, overall quite pleasant. 80/100

Slightly spiced and dessert-like Bourbon, the cognac cask finish has subdued some of the sweetness and given a richer, woodier and slightly festive spice feel to this one. 85/100
An interesting mix of peat-smoke and Calvados, quite light from the peaty whisky side which adds some darker notes of liqourice, clove and tar. 84/100
A lovely nutty, buttery and slightly coastal nature imbued here which really compliment the sweet apple and nutty French oak nature of the core Calvados. 85/100
A much sweeter and more vanillic expression following finishing in aSpeyside whisky cask, more body generate from a hint of malty cereal barley also. 84/100
A lovely introductory apple/fruit-led flavour, quite light on the palate and a hint of French oak maturation. 83/100
Salty and oily fish with a dash of lemon juice – not flavours I’m really looking for in a whisky. Whilst Terroir-driven whiskey may be a fantastical experiment/marketing hack to sell Waterford they seriously need to improve their output to tempt me into drinking it again. 66/100
Pere Magloire VSOP Pays d’Auge Calvados Calvados Review: Enjoyable, packed full of fruit and oak as you would expect, a touch of leathery tannins add spice and dryness. 83/100
Christian Drouin VSOP Calvados Pays d’Auge Calvados Review: A much more classical introductory Calvados here with a fine balance between fruity apple spirit and tannic oak cask influences, grows on the palate. 83/100
G13.1 A Complete revelation Whisky Review: Fascinating for a 4 year old grain whisky. The virgin oak puncheon has had a fair share of the contribution to the flavour profile of this whisky. A superb introduction to Chita’s grain whisky potential thanks to the SMWS. 87/100
