Caperdonich 22 Years Old Whisky Review: A real cake of a dram, there is some tropical fruit notes and plenty of tannic oaky spice which reveals its age. Coupled with that odd acidity and over tannic oak I can’t help but be reminded of mango balsamic vinegar. 91/100
Scapa 30 Years Old 1988 Connoisseurs Choice whisky review: Sweet, complex, mineralic and spiced. Surely full of Scapa character whatever that may be? This has been well-aged in a refill cask but still retains some rather unusual and unique flavours. 89/100
Post prandial in a very conventional way, full-bodied and filling with heathery peat influence and finishes like a wafer thin mint followed by a cigar in a deep leather armchair, had me thinking of Mr Creosote from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (just one more wafer thin mint sir…). 92/100
