Scotch Malt Whisky Society 33.70 Ardbeg Keith Richards meets Socrates 1998 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.30% 7 An effusively phenolic smouldering hulk. Recommended.

Bunnahabhain 1968 Auld Aquaintance, Hogmanay Edition
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.80% 8 A brilliantly sunny winter's day; a walk by the sea in late afternoon; a dram at dusk. Still Bunnahabhain, but so different.

Bunnahabhain Cruach Mhona
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 An appetising islander. On the sweet side. Bring the langoustines and the scallops.

Bunnahabhain 1963
Single Malt - Scotland - 42.90% 8 The Islay origins become more obvious the more mature Bunnahabhain is. This one would be comfortable in distant Cathay or in Tokyo or even 42nd Street.

Bunnahabhain 35 Years Old Limited Edition
Single Malt - Scotland - 44.90% 8 You'd never guess this was 35. Great life, balance and bags of character. A beauty.

Scotch Malt Whisky Society Caol Ila 7 Years Old, 53.50
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.10% 8 Young and hot. If that sounds flirtatiously sexy, you have the right idea.

Bunnahabhain 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 8 On the oak side but with depth and distinction.

Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 7 What was already a very fine (if underrated) 12yo has been given greater depth with a bump up in strength and non chill filtering. It's now one of the best on the market.

Bunnahabhain 1966
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.10% 7 The blood-orange hue suggests that this Bunnahabhain will in all senses be more colourful than the gentle 12 Years Old we normally encounter. Sun-dried whisky?

Bunnahabhain 1968, The Family Silver Vintage Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Because it is less aggressive than some of its neighbours, Bunnahabhain is often regarded as not being a proper Islay malt. This proves it can be.

Bunnahabhain 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 A bold spirit, tempered by well-timed maturation. A little flat to be truly great.

Bunnahabhain Darach Ur
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 7 Seems to be slightly hidden somehow. Maybe it just needs time to settle in the bottle.

Bunnahabhain 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.30% 8 The nose lets you expect sweeter notes. The palate is a bit disappointing.

Bunnahabhain 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Appetising and remarkably refreshing.

Bunnahabhain Manzanilla Sherry Wood 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 53.20% 7 Well controlled. Wood just coming into play and despite the sulphur it's a pleasing light,sweet spirit.
