Macduff 10 Years Old Batch 8 (50.2%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1160 Bottles, 2019)
Islay #3 13 Years Old Batch 4 (48.6%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1479 Bottles, 2019)
Islay #3 13 Years Old Batch 4 whisky review: A fantastic Islay expression with plenty of milk chocolate / peanut butter and salt that combine perfectly into Reeses peanut butter cups and lots of herbal thyme thrown in for good measure, awesome! 89/100
Irish Single Malt #1 13 Years Old Batch 2 (48.4%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 2200 Bottles, 2017)
Irish Single Malt #1 13 Years Old Batch 2 Whisky Review: A very fresh and fruity 13 year old expression / batch. Full of apples and oak and very drinkable for it. 84/100
Ben Nevis 23 Years Old Batch 10 (48%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 558 Bottles, 2019)
Ben Nevis 23 Years Old Batch 10 Whisky Review: A simply wonderful Ben Nevis expression! I found this one much grubbier and sweaty and full of Ben Nevis’s industrial funk than the Amber Light bottling. 89/100
Longmorn 10 Years Old Batch 3 (48.3%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1793 Bottles, 2019)
Longmorn 10 Years Old Batch 3 Whisky Review: A little bit spice and a lovely hint of florality on the nose, on the palate this has much more spirit character than cask for me and again I’m drawn to the conclusion that this is a lovely spirit-driven expression thanks to refill cask maturation. Very little oak in here but lots of drinkable Longmorn spirit. 84/100
Speyburn 10 Years Old Batch 3 (49.5%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1540 Bottles, 2019)
Speyburn 10 Years Old Batch 3 Whisky Review: Another refill cask aged expression by the feels of it, good balance again here with some nice spirit quality revealing good distillery character only I couldn’t taste the salmon! 😉 84/100
Strathclyde 31 Years Old Batch 4 (45%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 2019)
Strathclyde 31 Years Old Batch 4 Whisky Review: Sweet and delicious – a well aged vanilla-filled grain whisky. 86/100
Blended Whisky #2 22 Years Old Batch 3 (41.8%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1650 Bottles, 2019)
Blended Whisky #2 22 Years Old Batch 3 whisky review: A great blended whisky full of caramel, chocolate, fruit and nutty toasted barley flavours.
Blended Malt #1 18 Years Old Batch 3 (47.3%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1049 Bottles, 2019)
Blended Malt #1 18 Years Old Batch 3 Whisky Review: A ‘blended malt’ that is full of honey and pear influence as well as peppery oak from the cask – very reminiscent of Glenfiddich and a teaspoon of Balvenie perhaps?
Royal Brackla 12 Years Old Batch 1 (47.9%, That Boutique-Y Whisky Company, 1472 Bottles, 2019)
Royal Brackla 12 Years Old Batch 1 whisky review: Fruity limes, nutty and spicy with an odd minerality, flavours and colour suggest another refill cask vatting reduced to drinking strength – I’m not sure this one ticked my boxes too much.
