Ballantine's 17 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 43.00%
8
The blending skills at Ballantine have long been renowned. The 17 has always seemed to me the most eloquent demonstration of that. Beautifully composed and mature.
Cadenhead's Dallas Dhu 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.80%
8
I think I have discovered a breakfast whisky. They can call it Dallas Dhu. I'll dub it "Death in the Morning. "
Chieftain's Choice Littlemill 1984, 18 Years Old Rum finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7
I have always rated Littlemill more highly than most tasters do, but stocks are getting past their best.
Bowmore Cask Strength Islay Single Malt
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00%
7
Doesn't leap out of the glass at you, but well balanced and unthreatening.
Basil Hayden's 8 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 40.00%
7
Has an aromatic profile close to a rye whiskey. Quite charming. Too bad it has been emasculated by an excessive dilution. A handsome eunuch?
Benromach 21 Years Old, Old Tokaji Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
7
Rather unbalanced. The nose is far more promising than the palate. What's the point of the finish?
BenRiach Authenticus Peated Single Malt 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8
Another region-buster and a good one too.
Singleton of Dufftown 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7
A perfectly pleasant dram, but lacking the finesse and complexity of the best on show here.
The Macallan Fine Oak 'Whisky Maker's Selection'
Single Malt - Scotland - 42.80%
7
Fine, not a lot of oak.
Tomintoul Oloroso Sherry Cask 12 Years Old
- Scotland - 40.00%
7
Very shy almost embarassed. Don't be, Tomintoul.Shout it out!
Dewar Rattray Tamdhu 12 Years Old 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10%
7
An enticing note and a more “square” palate. It needs water to cut the edges. Quite refreshing and invigorating for a “floral dew”.
Tobermory 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30%
7
The feel is what is the biggest improvement here.
The Dalmore Dee Dram
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7
A pleasant dram with a satisfying balance to it.
