Editors Choice

Port Askaig Cask Strength 12 Years Old. A beautifully balanced islander. The marine aromatic display is just enticing, constantly teasing th

Recommended

AnCnoc 22 Years Old. A superb nose, the palate is slightly restrained but still very enjoyable and harmonious as well.

New Tastings

Ardbeg Ardbog
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.10%
8 Another stunner from Ardbeg.

Master of Malt Springbank 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.50%
8 Invigorating like a crisp spring morning. Fragrances in the air. I prefer it neat.

The Glenlivet Alpha
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
8 Perfect for a summer's day, I hope we actually get one this year!

Abbey Whisky Bunnahabhain
Single Malt - Scotland - 44.00%
8 Shy at first but revealing pleasant fruity flavours.

Russell's Reserve Small Batch Single Barrel
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 55.00%
8 A big untamed Bourbon which needs a dash of water to calm down. Not much though as it goes on the astringent side. I know there are fans of this style. Too fiery for me.

Talisker Storm
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 Talisker sailing off the shore, taking more oak on board with it.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company Arran
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.10%
8 A lively uplifting elegant dram. Like an invigorating early morning walk in a scented garden.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company Tobermory
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.80%
8 A pleasant example of a good Bourbon cask maturation. A good companion for a fish dish as well.

Highland Park Loki
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.70%
8 An oaky character, slightly dour at first but opening on fruit and toffee. Be light when adding water.

Nikka Coffey Grain
Single Grain - Japan - 45.00%
8 Once the funny off note has gone, we have a pleasant whisky, not over sweet. Refreshing spicy profile.

Hellyers Road 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Australia - 46.20%
7 The nose is more expressive than the palate. A delicate sweetness.

Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Ltd Smokin'
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 A well-balanced dram.

Master of Malt Bally Delicious
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.00%
7 An interesting floral character but not a wide aromatic palate.

Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Ltd Big Smoke
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 The nose is more attractive than the palate. Obviously an Islander. Pleasant springtime outdoor dram though.

Master of Malt Tobermory 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.00%
7 A vibrant character, especially on the palate. Refreshing but with a bite.
