Massively chewy and woody and with plenty of spices and tannins too. Combined with all the dried fruit this did have a Christmas pudding & mince pie feel to it, careful addition of water will probably get the best out of this one. 83/100
A super or juicy fruits expression, bright and lively some spice from the wood and touches of solventy/spirit nature but overall a very enjoyable and affordable aged Teaninich expression.
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
Another super Ben Nevis bottling by Boutique-Y, not too much Nevis Funk in here but just enough to confirm its origin. Plenty of refill ex-bourbon notes though and generous fruits too. 87/100
A superb Ledaig expression full of peat smoke, salty coastal influence and sherried/dried fruits. 84/100
Quite harsh/spicy, black pepper and cinnamon overpower the fruitiness quite quickly, certainly needs a drop of water and readily reveals that metallic edge/hot radiator nature. 77/100
Lovely fruity aroma and also on the palate but much too spiced for my liking, quite sharp/prickly. 78/100
A touch woody but with some lovely sweet and floral notes, also a little bit vegetal on the palate. 79/100
Quite light on the nose with a little more punch and plenty of spices on the palate, overall quite pleasant. 80/100
Mackmyra 5 Years Old Batch 2 Whisky Review: Deliciously floral and fruity, I love Makmyra’s quirky nature and this has it in droves despite the simple cask maturation. 86/100
