Knockando 15 Years Old 1997 Whisky Review: Malty and floral, spicy and nutty, coffee, etc, this has it all but is perhaps a little too spiced for me. 82/100
Knockando 15 Years Old 1997 (43%, OB, 2012)
Knockando 12 Years Old 2004 (43%, OB, 2016)
Knockando 12 Years Old 2004 Whisky Review: Wow, quite different from the 2003 vintage, juicier and more sherried and much less drying/oaky and spiced. 82/100
Avallen Calvados (40%, OB, 2019)
Avallen Calvados Calvados Review: A very light and accessible Calvados from Avallen, refreshing and fruity, ideal! 82/100
Linkwood 18 Years Old 1997 Old Malt Cask (50%, Hunter Laing, HH #11565, 257 Bottles, 2015)
Linkwood 18 Years Old 1997 Old Malt Cask Whisky Review: Still fairly basic with much spirit lead flavour akin to the 10 year old, some deeper flavours in here thanks to longer maturation but I’m still not loving this one. 82/100
The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Years Old (40%, OB, 2020)
The Singleton of Dufftown 12 Years Old Whisky Review: Smooth and cereal rich with a good fruity sweetness. Still on of my favourite introductory whiskies, a pleasure to revisit. 82/100
Darkness 8 Years Old (47.8%, Master of Malt, 2020)
Darkness 8 Years Old Whisky Review: A little bit young and forced, needs a lot more polishing for my liking. Once it breathes much more of the more pleasant sherry influence comes out but needs time/careful watering. 82/100
Grant’s Cask Editions Sherry Cask Finish (40%, OB, 2014)
Grant’s Cask Editions Sherry Cask Finish Whisky Review: Ok, again the cask finish is much improved over The Family Reserve expression but I preferred the Ale cask to this sherry cask expression. 82/100
Heaven Hill 9 Years Old Straight Corn Whiskey Batch 1 (49.5%, TBWC, 1679 Bottles, 2019)
Heaven Hill 9 Years Old Straight Corn Whiskey Batch 1 Whisky Review: Light in spirit but with a heavy cask influence, still a little corn syrupy, light fruit and sparkling pepper spices becomes a lot creamier and sweeter with a splash of water. 82/100
Dufftown 8 Years Old 2009 Bicentenary Drammie (46%, Morrison and MacKay, HH, 410 Bottles, 2017)
Dufftown 8 Years Old 2009 Bicentenary Drammie Whisky Review: Pleasant and solid, cloyingly rich nose but a more reserved palate full of cereal notes a touch of zest and spice keep it interesting. 82/100
Chivas Regal 13 Years Old Extra Oloroso Sherry Casks (40%, OB, 2020)
Chivas Regal 13 Years Old Extra Oloroso Sherry Casks whisky review: A lovely soft, easy-sipping blend with some nice and gentle Oloroso Sherry influences, a good drinker which appeals to my Sherry-leaning palate. 82/100
