AnCnoc 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Takes water nicely. A real fun summery mouthful.Session dram.

AnCnoc 22 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 A superb nose, the palate is slightly restrained but still very enjoyable and harmonious as well.

AnCnoc 35 years old
Single Malt - Scotland - 44.30% 9 Superb balance and aromatic intensity. Exemplary old whisky.

Ardbeg 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Not the most muscular Ardbeg, but still robust.

Ardbeg 1976, Distillery Manager's Choice
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00% 9 Real Ardbeg peatiness and smokiness.

Ardbeg 1976, Single Cask Committee bottling
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.00% 8 A 'no bones about it' Islay whisky, and a fine example of Ardbeg.

Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 1990 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 A welcome addition to the range.

Ardbeg Alligator
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.20% 8 A big islander, well structured and well balanced. Just a dash of water is enough to enhance the flavours.

Ardbeg Almost There
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.00% 8 This is seamless stuff and despite the smokiness is unshowy. Only 9 Years Old? Great things are on their way.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10% 8 Long,stylish and balanced. Highly recommended.

Ardbeg Galileo
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.00% 8 Perfect balance. Hidden complexity.

Ardbeg Lord of the Isles, 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Lots of flavour development, complexity and refinement. Very elegant, but where is the clamour of battle?

Ardbeg Lord of the Isles, 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Becomes more complex with age. I admire its style, but hanker for the bravado of the younger Ardbegs.

Ardbeg Oloroso Finish, Cask 4704
Single Malt - Scotland - 47.20% 8 Nothing too elaborate here. Good honest Islay whisky. Have this with breakfast and you will live forever, or feel that way.

Ardbeg Rennaissance
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.90% 8 Everything here has been reduced to elemental levels. A nice circle completed.

Ardbeg Supernova
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.90% 8 Has considerable character. Fresh, young but for peat freaks only.

Ardbeg Supernova 2010
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.10% 8 A head-cleaning experience. Not for the fainthearted.

Auchentoshan 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Very expressive when young – as might be expected from a classic Lowlander.

Auchentoshan 17 Years Old, Bordeaux Wine
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.00% 8 The wine finish brings in sweetness and fruitiness but without masking the delicate grassiness and lightness of the Lowland style. A real cracker, perfect for a wake up call.

Auchentoshan 1978, 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.80% 8 This seems to me the definitive light tasting (triple-distilled) Lowlander. In theory, such whiskies mature young, but this has aged beautifully.

Auchentoshan 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A fruity rumble in the hay. Oo arr missus.

Auchentoshan Select
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Good balance. Fresh and exciting.

Auchentoshan Three Wood
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Lowlands just as aperitifs? Pah! A well constructed malt with varied wood flavour, although the prevalence of sherry flavours makes it atypical of the region.

Auchentoshan Three Wood
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 A classic of its type.

Bailie Nicol Jarvie
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Demanding and stern. Take some time to understand it. A complex whisky as it reveals its secrets.
