Glen Moray Warehouse 1 2005 Tokaji Finish
Traditional sweetie shop with candied ginger and dried/candied orange peel layered over Glen Moray’s biscuity malt base, later maple and pecan pastries and a hint of saffron, remarkable! Continue reading

Glenfiddich 26 Years Old Grand Couronne
Well-aged, full of polished wood, soft and gentle this reminded me of taking a welcome break with a good coffee and accompanying pastry. Perfectly integrated and balanced I could gladly spend plenty of time enjoying this whisky. Continue reading

Glenfiddich 23 Years Old Grand Cru
Soft, creamy and reserved plenty of brioche, white pear & grape and soft brown sugars. In general intensity of flavour and mouthfeel I preferred this at cask strength rather than the reduced final version. Continue reading

Glenfiddich 21 Years Old

Benrinnes 15 Years Old 1999 Old Malt Cask

Glentauchers 44 Years Old Batch 10
Very drinkable, plenty of oak wood – no surprise for 44 years in the cask but also remarkably light still at this age, very suggestive of a refill cask and for my mind nothing dissuades me from ex-bourbon her 91/100 Continue reading

Longmorn 15 Years Old 2005 Distillery Reserve Collection
Quite heady and spicy with lots of lovely sherry influence, dried fruit, raisins and nuttiness. 87/100 Continue reading
