Ledaig 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask Whisky Review: Another superb expression, the complete antithesis of colour = flavour, much like many young Islay whiskies. A lovely mixture of fruit and smoke with more than an indication on the nose of exactly where it came from. 86/100

Isle of Jura 28 Years Old 1992 whisky review: Initially quite a quiet and unassuming dram but not closed. Distillate driven, though there are some good additions here from the cask that has mellowed this spirit over the 28 years. The end result is dangerously drinkable.
House Greyjoy Talisker Select Reserve Whisky Review: A classic Talisker, probably a little youngish but with plenty of good peppery smoke and brine, some herbality. My first impression was this was much more buttery/oily/i.e. young compared to drier aged Taliskers, with more time and contemplation I can’t shake that briny green olive nature to this which I really like. 83/100
SMWS 17.39 Relax, take it easy Whisky Review: A pleasure to taste and a real treat to sample with the ice cream also made from it. Quite delicate and light and a touch floral. Presented that great taste combination of rose and vanilla white chocolate. 87/100

Talisker 2006 Distillers Edition Whisky Review: Much more subtle than the “double-matured” I tried previously, and much better integrated. This feels more like the standard 10 year old expression after receiving a soft fruit infusion. 86/100
Talisker 10 Years Old Whisky Review: Awesome as usual! Full of coastal character, with a rich heather honey sweetness peppered with complimentary spices. 86/100
Talisker Storm Whisky Review: Full of tarry and bitumen-like notes, that smoky char is really evident here. 82/100
Talisker Skye Whisky Review: Much more cereal/barley led than I remember from our last tasting. A sprinkle of salt throughout and some lovely heather honey and yeasty notes shine through that are usually masked a little. This is distinctly Talisker but much more barley driven, I wonder if the relative ‘age’ of this NAS expression is creeping upwards? 82/100
