Adelphi Teaninich 31 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.80%
8 Well-matured, amazing for its age.
Berry's Own Selection Teaninich 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Not a heavyweight nor a sophisticated lad. But a perfect companion for a plate of smokies or a fruit salad.
Chieftain's Choice Teaninich 21 Years Old Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Not much subtlety, but I always enjoy its big, confident, flavours.
Dewar Rattray Teaninich 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.80%
7 The high strength makes it difficult to tame even with water. Some like it hot. But my palate waves a white flag.
Gordon & MacPhail Teaninich 1983
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Well worth sampling, but don't expect anything fancy. This is a workaday malt.
Rare Malts Teaninich 1972 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 64.20%
8 This little-known malt almost always surprises me with its robust flavours.
Teaninich
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 This malt improves with oxygenation. Quite shy, it may appear insignificant at first, which it is not. Just pleasant.
Teaninich 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Teaninich seems to have become more fruity and herbal over the years. And thinner. Or is it me who has become fatter?
