Redbreast is one of the world's great whiskeys. Delicious!
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.
Glendronach Parliament 21 Years Old 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.00%

A well balanced sherried whisky. Rich, complex with a beautiful finish.
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.
Glenglassaugh The Chosen Few No.1 Robbie Routledge 35 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.60%

Complex and confident. Lovely stuff!
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%

A lovely old-fashioned blend.
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2002
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30%

A superb Kentucky delight ! When old bourbons are oak controlled, they
reach perfection.
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.
Elements of Islay Kilchoman KH1
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.70%

A sweet islander. Can be enjoyed without water.
Glenfarclas 1964 Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.50%
8
Old but not very lively. The nose is complex and fragrant.
Amrut Two Continents Second Edition
Single Malt - India - 50.00%

Amrut are doing some really interesting work right now.
Caribou Crossing Single Barrel
Blended - Canada - 40.00%

A little one-paced.
BenRiach 16 Years Old 1995 Cask 7164
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.30%
8
This whisky is oak dominated. Too much for me as we have lost the distillery character, but the nose is expressive. Beware of water, it kills it.
Glenfarclas 1971 Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.00%

Too long a maturation. When oak dictates the aromatic profile, it is hard
to feel satisfied.
