A superb fruity and sweet young Islay with plenty of smoke character and obvious first fill bourbon influence too. A packet of frazzles and a cigar. 84/100
Undisclosed Islay 7 Years Old 2008
Imperial 22 Years Old 1998 Monologue

Auchentoshan 22 Years Old 1998 Monologue

Caol Ila 9 Years Old 2011 Monologue
Sweet and medicinal but I can’t get that germolene in my mouth feeling away, nice but a little sickly. 84/100
Mannochmore 11 Years Old 2008 Monologue
A traditional Speysider, fruity with obvious influence of oak wood, well developed, zesty, cooked and preserved apples in this one. 85/100
Williamson 9 Years Old 2010 Monologue
A delicious combination of sweet milk, vanilla buttercream icing and earthy and turfy peat smoke. 87/100

Rampur Select
Initially quiet this expression is full of soft and sweet tropical fruits, honey and vanilla representing Rampur’s core flavour profile. 84/100
Longmorn 11 Years Old 2009 Strictly Limited
A very drinkable expression full of vanilla and fruits and reasonably wood light, more tropical on the nose than the palate. 84/100
High Coast Timmer
A lovely and subtle, almost floral, woody and smokey expression, just what I imagine a campfire in a Swedish pine forest smells like. 86/100
