  • Cotswolds 3 Years Old Batch 1

    Cotswolds 3 Years Old Batch #1 whisky review: A very fresh expression, spicy, woody and tannic, a lovely zingy fruit sweetness. Young and sharp and a little too woody but shows great promise for what is being produced at the… Continue reading

  • Bunnahabhain 11 Year Old Batch 9

    Bunnahabhain 11 Years Old Batch 5 whisky review: A rather frustrating Bunna, full of that delicious funky mustiness on the nose but just a little light on the palate and peppery in the finish that doesn’t really know what to… Continue reading

  • Dailuaine 15 Years Old Batch 2

    Dailuaine 15 Years Old Batch 2 (That Boutique-Y Whisky Company) whisky review: Pleasing and fairly full in the palate, almost a meal in a glass – if that meal is pancakes for breakfast. A great example of a Dailuaine with… Continue reading

  • Loch Lomond 19 Years Old Batch 3

    Loch Lomond 19 Years Old Batch 3 single grain scotch whisky review: Very sweet and toffee’d with occasional solventy hints, even at 19 years old this carries a little grain whisky harshness around the edges. 82/100 Continue reading

  • Secret Distillery #2 15 Years Old

    Secret Distillery #2 15 Years Old single malt Scotch whisky review: Initially quite tannic and woody but with a huge body, once it has opened up there is plenty of juicy sweetness tempered by delicate spices. I wouldn’t be surprised… Continue reading

  • Mortlach 18 Year Old Batch 3

    Whisky Review: Mortlach 18 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company). Quite fruity and fresh with red apples and toffee apples, hints of smoked ham and sweet-cured bacon, plenty of malt but also floral and herbal in places too. 86/100 Continue reading

  • Blended Grain #1 50 Years Old Batch 1

    At a young 50 years old! This displayed everything that is wonderful about old grain whisky, the sweetness from the Maize & possibly other cereals and what tastes like ex-bourbon American oak maturation have generated a coconut and tropical fruit… Continue reading
