Another raw and spirit-led Mortlach expression and again in the absence of serious cask-maturation I’m left underwhelmed by this one. 76/100
Mortlach 7 Years Old Tartan
Cameronbridge 21 Years Old 1997 Single Cask 75792
Cameronbridge 21 Years Old 1997 James Eadie Whisky Review: Quite simple, oaky with plenty of vanilla and coconut, no surprise this was a single grain or that it was matured in a refill hogshead, still quite harsh and solventy for its age. 76/100
Cardhu Special Cask Reserve
Cardhu Special Cask Reserve Whisky Review: Soft and gentle, accessible if a little uninspired, some vanilla oak influence but errs towards bitterness and awful thin feeling at 40%. 76/100
Heaven Hill 10 Years Old 2009 The Single Cask
Heaven Hill 10 Years Old 2009 Whisky Review: Closed and a little difficult at cask strength, a little water softens and opens up this one. Plenty of caramel and a hint of fruit but overall this is very palate-neutral. 76/100
FEW Bourbon Whiskey Batch 1
FEW Bourbon Whiskey Batch#1 Whisky Review: Woody, suggesting perhaps it is a little older than their standard fare, but still quite spirity and feisty on the palate also. 76/100
Fettercairn 12 Years Old
Fettercairn 12 Years Old whisky review: Non-polarising/easy going, a great starter whisky into the Fettercairn range with plenty of their fruity and green spirit character, sweet with hints of spice and vanilla from the casks. 76/100
Old Pulteney Huddart
Old Pulteney Huddart whisky review: A lot less smoky than I was hoping for, pretty neutral but well constructed. 76/100
Bank Note 5 Years Old
Bank Note 5 Years Old blended Scotch whisky review: A pleasant blended scotch whisky, while the grain component is evident the end result is surprisingly rounded and drinkable considering the youngest element in this blend is 5 years old. Some nice cask char and spice elements present too. 76/100

Canadian Club 6 Years Old 1971 ~ 43.4% (Hiram Walker & Sons) Blended Canadian whisky 43.4% ABV, £96 Score: 76/100 What they say: A well-preserved bottle of Canadian Club 6 year old, […]
Kilkerran Work in Progress 3
Alluring and warm… a great summers evening dram that leaves you licking your lips for more. 76/100
