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

Mortlach 18 Year Old Batch 3 (48.9%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 363 Bottles, 2017)
Whisky Review: Mortlach 18 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company). Quite fruity and fresh with red apples and toffee apples, hints of smoked ham and sweet-cured bacon, plenty of malt but also floral and herbal in places too. 86/100
Invergordon 43 Years Old 1972 (48.9%, Dornoch Castle, Cask #37, 218 Bottles. 2015)
A great old grain with a real intensity of flavours and not too sweet, good herbality but also distinct evidence of grain spirit origin still even after all that time in the cask. A great example of why old grains can be as full and wholesome as single malt whisky. 86/100
No Name (48.9%, Compass Box, 2017)
Sweet peaty perfection! Quite subtle too though, there is a soft sweetness and rich maltiness in this that really helps it along. But mostly its about the peat!
