Greenore 18 Years Old
Single Grain - Republic of Ireland - 46.00%
8 A very stylish grain which is showing grip and character rather than just
getting sweeter and flabbier with age.
Benromach Origins Batch 2 Port Pipes 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
8 Wholly matured in port pipes. Shows great balance and style for a 12 Years
Old and is marked accordingly.
BenRiach Horizons 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 Triple distillation heightens the aromatics though can't really see the
oloroso influence.
BenRiach Solstice 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
8 A somewhat lurid colour, but this is an extremely sound and stylish BenRiach with an integration not often seen in finished whiskies.
Dry Fly Wheat
Blended - U.S.A. - 40.00%
7 Well made. Just needs time in cask to bulk up a little. Just hope they keep
some back for longer term aging.
Early Times 354
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 40.00%
7 After years of being a Kentucky whiskey, Early Times moves back into the bourbon world. Young, sound and light.
Evan Williams Single Barrel 2001
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30%
8 A more rye-accented single barrel but one which maintains this series' high
standard of excellence.
Penderyn Single Bourbon Cask
Bourbon - Wales - 61.50%
7 Just lacks a little weight but a good aperitif.
