Balblair 1989 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Seems young, but very attractive.

Cadenhead's Glen Ord 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.00% 7 ‘Born on' dates are not a big issue when John Barleycorn must die, yet this whisky seems to have an especially fresh maltiness. A refreshing dram for the sultry suns of summer.

Cadenhead's Lochside 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.90% 8 This was never a great distillery but it made some perfectly pleasant whiskies and its loss is to be regretted. This bottling is past its best but obviously has rarity value.

Caribbean Fruit 19 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 46.00% 3 Another deliciously drinkable dram from an increasingly impressive bottler.

Chieftain's Choice Brora 1982, 19 Years Old, Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Pure mastered (and mastering) Oloroso style. But where is the spirit contribution?

Dewar Rattray Balblair 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.80% 8 A rich multi layered whisky which, surprisingly, I enjoyed better without water. The latter enhances a bitter tone.

Dewar Rattray Glen Grant 1985 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.40% 8 A definite sharpness which hides a sweeter character. Water does not help much, enhancing the pepperiness. For those who like it hot.

Dun Bheagan Clynelish 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.50% 8 A surprisingly sweet expression of Clynelish. Lots of flavour and plenty of charm.

Glen Elgin 19 Years Old, Centenary Bottling
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.00% 8 For me, the classic example of Speyside heather-honey character. A beautifully rounded, characterful, elegant, whisky.

Glenmorangie Ealanta 19 Years Old
Single Malt - U.S.A. - 46.00% 8 ?Less complexity on the palate, but the nose can pop round for a visit anytime it likes.

Highland Park Artist Edition 1988
- Scotland - 46.00% 7 Mellowand balanced.Worth a look

Ichiro's Malt Ten of Clubs 1990 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Japan - 52.40% 7 It has balance but needs to be approached with cautious respect.

Miyagikyo 1990 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Japan - 61.00% 7 Funny enough,that strong dram is better neat. But give it time.

Rare Malts North Port 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.00% 6 Some malts are deservedly rare, but full marks to United for at least giving us the chance to taste them.

Rare Malts St Magdalene 1998 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 63.80% 7 For a ghost, quite aggressive.

Rattray's Selection Blended Malt 19 Years Old
Blended Malt - Scotland - 55.80% 8 A characterful autumnal dram. To sip with an apple pudding.

Scott's Selection Glenallachie 1993 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.60% 7 The nose is pleasant but the alcohol makes it too sharp. The same with the palate. The cask has not mellowed it enough.

Selected by Berry's Longmorn 1992 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 This has some characterful notes, but not enough to raise it into the echelons of other whiskies of comparable age.

The Maltman Glenlossie 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00% 8 At 19 years, this has reached a harmonious conclusion. Very good indeed.

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

W.L. Weller 19 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.00% 8 A bourbon of some presence and elegance. With dessert, or after dinner?

W.L. Weller 19 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.00% 8 If this had been bottled for six or seven years ago, I would probably have loved its big flavours. I like oak, but this is too much, and too old, for me. If you are an oak extremist, rush out and buy ...

Wemyss Vintage Malts BBQ Sauce 1990 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 7 A perfectly pleasant potation.

Wemyss Vintage Malts Tropical Spice 19 Years Old 1990
Blended Malt - Scotland - 59.40% 8 On the edge of being too woody but manages to keep a pleasant balance if you give it time, peace and quiet ! A tribute to old age?

Whyte & Mackay 19 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% Bold and characterful.
