Longmorn 57 Years Old 1961 Cask #508 whisky review: Great nose, and a wonderful experience to try such an old Longmorn, but, the contrast between the nose and palate is too great. Far too over-oaked for my palate, too spicy, bitter and harsh. Masses of or practically liquid/distilled European Oak wood didn’t make for a pleasurable drinking experience. Water made it more spicy and tannic, something this whisky didn’t lack. A lesson in wood. 63/100
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
Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey Review: Slightly less complex than Bourbon, this wheat based whiskey has a softer, sweet and slightly spiced nature. Quite tasty and nutty with cereal elements add a bakery style / sweetie shop mixture. Very pleasant. 83/100
A little tart and spicy initially but the sweetness prevails and the whole becomes quite moreish. 87/100
A deliciously sweet and polished expression, a lot smoother with that distinctive feel on the palate that comes from charcoal filtration, quite in-spicy for a rye expression, full of cinnamon dusted pastries and ripe fruits. 84/100
