Woody oak and tropical fruits prevail in this delicious old dram, I’m left searching a little bit for character here but maybe that’s just my distraction? 86/100
Tullibardine 26 Years Old 1989 Single Cask
The GlenDronach Cask Strength Batch 9
Another classic cask strength rendition from Glendronach, a hint of apples and spirit here and there but mostly wonderful sherry cask maturation at its best. 85/100
The Glendronach 27 Years Old 1992 Port Pipe #5897 (48%, OB, Batch 18, 853 Bottles, 2020)
Full of dark chocolate, rose and some well-integrated fruit flavours such as plum and fig, surprisingly well-balanced and not too sweet for a port maturation, with woody and spirit influences presented to perfection. 91/100
The Glendronach 10 Years Old 2009 PX Puncheon #2091 (61.9%, OB, Batch 18, 692 Bottles, 2020)
The Glendronach 10 Years Old 2009 PX Puncheon #2091 Whisky Review ABV: 61.9% Age: 10 Years Old Bottling: OB, Single Cask Releases Batch 18 Category: Highland single malt scotch whisky Cost: £100 […]
The Glenturret 12 Years Old (46%, OB, 2020)
I found this a little challenging on the nose with dry leather and woody tannins initially but once it has breathed a fairly classic Dundee cake/Fruit cake nature arises from the ex-European oak cask maturation. 84/100
The Glenturret 10 Years Old Peat Smoked (50%, OB, 2020)
A Highland peaty expression that combines thick peat smoke influences with Glenturret’s fruity spirit profile. 84/100
The Glenturret Triple Wood (43%, OB, 2020)
A beautiful expression, quite complex but very drinkable. Lots going on in here but all very complementary the result is Baklava, buttery pastry, honey/syrup, nuts and gentle spices combined to perfection. 85/100
Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake (46%, OB, 2020)
Well I guess malt-light highlights Glenmorangie’s delicate spirit and I did pick up on a bit of fruit and sugar here but this was much more fresh wood than a piece of cake for me. 80/100
Glenglassaugh 10 Years Old 2009 UK Exclusive Cask 559 (55.9%, OB, Bourbon Barrel #559, 191 Bottles, 2020)
A lovely mixture of sweet vanilla tablet and ashen peat embers. 87/100
Glenglassaugh 10 Years Old 2009 Distillery Exclusive Cask 1346 (54.7%, OB, Bourbon Barrel #1346, 250 Bottles, 2020)
Very rich and full of nutty and creamy vanilla toffee, that core tropicality is there as well as a distinct coastal influence. 86/100
