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
Dailuaine 4 Years Old 2012 Strictly Limited whisky review: Another ex-bourbon Dailuaine expression and this time young enough to reveal much more spirit character. Plenty of sulphur and vanilla combine to bestow a healthy dose of custard, hiding much of the unripe fruity characteristics still present in the spirit. 75/100
Calvados Coquerel 4 Years Old Limited Edition Finished in Bourbon Barrels review: The perfect combination of apple pie and custard, simply delicious! 87/100
Famille Dupont Calvados Pays d’Auge Cask Finish Collection No.1 Islay Whisky Cask review: A fantastic mixture of rich, fruity apple Calvados and coastal, oily and peaty Islay whisky that works really well. 90/100
Challenging, not overly complex, unusual. Improves with a drop of water as I felt the peat masked a lot of the cask influence and the sweeter Sauternes-influenced notes I was hoping for. 83/100
