Whiskies from 'Burn Stewart Distillers plc'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Burn Stewart Distillers plc.

• Black Barrel

The name does not imply a dark whisky – the colour is a good full gold – but the barrel may have been well-charred. There is plenty of juicy wood-extract there.

• Black Bottle

• Black Bottle 10 Years Old

A delicious, appetising, new expression of Black Bottle. As a blend, it is a star.

• Black Bottle 10 Years Old

An uncompromising Islay blend. Washes along sea fragrances. But reveals a sweet nature on the palate. Grain and malt are well married. A good cure for Islay-sickness.

• Black Bush

Long one of my great favourites. In composition, it is the the simplest of blends, yet it demonstrates how malt can someimes be enhanced by a leavening of grain.

• Ledaig

Nothing to cheer up tastebuds. Water saves the nose but does not help palate. A pale image of Ledaig.

• Ledaig 10 Years Old

Another that’s growing in character. I’m looking forward to the 12yo.

• Ledaig 7 Years Old

That wasn't breakfast toast after all. It was melba toast, with a game pate. Or better still, a mousseline.

• Ledaig 7 Years Old

Quite an unusual profile. A comforting malt to enjoy while camping in the wilderness.

• Ledaig Sherry Finish

Quite a rich and complex malt. Needs a long aeration to release it all.

• Scottish Leader 12 Years Old

Very mild, but a blend assembled with great skill and subtlety.

• Scottish Leader 15 Years Old

More subtlety sophistication and elegance than the Platinum.

• Scottish Leader Platinum Seal

Remarkably fruity, but in a lively interplay with all the other elements.
