Aberlour 1976
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 A little more roundness would have been appreciated.
The Century of Malts Blended Scotch Whisky
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
4 Gentle, smooth and delicately balanced, but with some underlying muscle. Complex and sophisticated. More of a James Bond than a Braveheart.
Glenfiddich 15 Years Old, Solera Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Elegant. Well-balanced to the point of suavity.
Highland Park 1977 Bicentenary Vintage Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
4 A great malt: luxurious, profound, full of the flavours of Scotland
The Glenlivet 1969 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.20%
8 A little woody.
The Glenlivet 1970 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.58%
8 Enjoyable, but I expected a little more.
The Glenlivet 1972 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.29%
8 A little woody. Choice of cask?
Connoisseur's Choice Bladnoch 1986
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 The light touch of sherry helps bring out the soft, fruity, flavours.
Gordon & MacPhail Inverleven 1985
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Not much complexity, but an unusually summery whisky.
Aberlour a'bunadh
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.60%
8 A dark, luxurious, post-prandial whisky from a distillery that is producing an increasing, and impressive range.
Jameson Irish Whiskey
Blended - Ireland - 40.00%
8 A superb Irish for everyday drinking. I love this, though not quite as much as the 1780.
Redbreast 12 Years Old
Blended - Ireland - 40.00%
9 Delicious, soothing, contemplative. A great whiskey. Makes me want to get on a plane to Dublin immediately.
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.20%
8 Perhaps encouraged by the dark orange colour, the descriptors sound sweet, but the overall effect is one of flowery dryness, with great finesse.
Hewitts Irish Whiskey
Blended - Ireland - 43.00%
7 Soothing. A touch of more-ish dryness.
Glenfiddich 15 Years Old, Solera Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Light but very smooth. Scores points for its suave smoothness and sweetness.
Glen Moray Chardonnay Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Pale and soft, but textured.
Glen Moray 12 Years Old, Chenin Blanc Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Smooth body, beeswax-like. The wine adds an element, but many loyalists will miss the previous version.
Highland Park 1958
Single Malt - Scotland - 44.00%
8 Some drinkers might perfer this great whisky slightly younger and fresher. Those who like a touch of oak will find this very elegant.
Highland Park 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
9 If I smoked I would have a cigar with this one.
Highland Park 1977 Bicentenary Vintage Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
9 After that voluptuous dinner.
The Arran Malt 4 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 A lovely whisky for one so young. What will it be like at two or three times this age?
Scotch Malt Whisky Society 9 Years Old, Brimstone & Treacle
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00%
7
Buffalo Trace American Straight Bourbon
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.00%
8 Some very interesting flavours, but lacks roundness and length.
Bowmore 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 A touch of astringency that seems to be more than Islay iodine.
