Arran 18 Years Old 1996 Single Cask 777
Another characteristically fruity Arran dram, still quite spicy and perhaps a little less sweet and vanillic most likely due to the use of a refill hogshead for maturation here. 84/100 Continue reading

Ardbeg 21 Years Old 1992 Single Cask 430
Ardbeg’s peaty beast of a spirit has been truly tamed in this single cask expression. The Hogshead has worked masses of sweet and creamy vanilla into this whisky, however a slightly metallic tang remains that could have arisen in the… Continue reading

Arran 17 Years Old 1996 Single Cask 1482
This one had me guessing Sherry cask all over. With the fruit, tannin, leather and chocolate – I now realise this is core Arran malt signatures mixed with a particularly active refill hogshead. Very enjoyable! 85/100 Continue reading

Arran 18 Years Old 1996 PX octave finish
Possibly the best of the 3 Arran 18 year old expressions in my opinion, though this may have been subject to my PX bias. It is not quite as nutty and chocolatey as some but delivers a lot of flavour… Continue reading
