Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2002
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30% 8 A superb Kentucky delight ! When old bourbons are oak controlled, they reach perfection.

Glendronach Parliament 21 Years Old 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.00% 8 A well balanced sherried whisky. Rich, complex with a beautiful finish.

Glenfarclas 43 Years Old, Cognac Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.70% 9 Incredibly “alive” for a 43 Years Old whisky. Absolutely wonderful. Fully matured or just finished in a cognac cask ? Whatever, it worked superbly.

Glenfarclas Movember 9 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 8 Light and well structured. Refreshing.

The Whisky Exchange Bowmore 18 Years Old 1993 The Whisky Exchange Masterpieces
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.60% 8 That whisky needs a dash of water to cut the edges. Clean, big with that wonderful exotic fruit character that some Bowmore proudly display.

Tweedale 12 Years Old Blend Batch 2
Blended - Scotland - 46.00% 8 A lovely old-fashioned blend.

Amrut Two Continents Second Edition
Single Malt - India - 50.00% 8 Amrut are doing some really interesting work right now.

Armorik Classic
Single Malt - France - 46.00% 7 Although the nose is pretty smooth, the alcohol is not mastered on the palate. Lacks balance.

Caribou Crossing Single Barrel
Blended - Canada - 40.00% 8 A little one-paced.

Elements of Islay Bunnahabhain BN1
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.70% 7 Unusual profile for a... Bn ! Very interesting though. The perfect companion to a cheese and fruit plate.

Elements of Islay Kilchoman KH1

Famous Grouse Celebratory Blend
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% 7 A decent addition to the Famous Grouse flight.

Glen Garioch 1971
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.30% 7 The nose is more appealing than the palate. Not much complexity for such an old whisky. Pleasant though.

Glendronach 1995 Cask 4681
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.20% 8 A style of whisky which has its fans. But that oak infusion masks the distillery character and the essence of whisky for me. Sad, as the nose is interesting.

Glenfarclas 1961 Sherry Hogshead
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.40% 7 Again, wood has taken the lead and the balance is lost. But there is a lot of charm in that old piece of history. So difficult to score.

Glenfarclas 1964 Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.50% 8 Old but not very lively. The nose is complex and fragrant.

Glenfarclas 1970 Sherry Hogshead
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.70% 8 That old timer has surprisingly kept a high strength and a vibrant character. Oak is overwhelming but in an elegant way. That could be an old cognac.

Glenfarclas 1971 Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.00% 8 Too long a maturation. When oak dictates the aromatic profile, it is hard to feel satisfied.

Glenfarclas 1981 Plain Hogshead
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.80% 7 Perfect “herbal malt-tea” for a wintery night cup. It takes a few drops of water to cut the edges.

Glenfarclas 1984 Plain Hogshead
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 7 That whisky struggles to stand out among a flight of big sherry guys, but it is worth enjoying. Though we could have expected more character from a 27 Years Old whisky.

Glenfarclas 1996 Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.60% 7 The nose offered some smoothness that the palate denied. Not numbing with water but gets bitter.

Glenglassaugh The Chosen Few No.1 Ronnie Routledge 35 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.60% 8 Complex and confident. Lovely stuff!

Glenrothes 16 Years Old, 1995
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Drinkable enough, but marked down for its ‘fousty' nose.

High Spirits Mesquite Smoked Arizona
Single Malt - U.S.A. - 40.00% 7 Has the true spirit character slightly masked here?

Scott's Selection Dailuane 1983 28 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.80% 7 Marked down slightly for an undistinguished nose.

The Whisky Exchange Ardmore 1993
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.30% 7 An enticing whispering whisky.

Woodford Reserve Masters Collection Rare Rye
Rye - U.S.A. - 46.20% 7 Not all that well balanced.
