Tamdhu, Coopering, Toronto
Famous Grouse Port Wood Finish
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Port wood can add toffeeish and spicy flavours, rounding out a whisky without adding an obvious wine flavour. That is what happens here.
Famous Grouse Scottish Oak
Blended - Scotland - 45.00%
7 Seamlessly put together. Best drunk neat.
Formidable Jock 8 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%

Formidable Jock Blended Scotch Whisky
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
5 Overwhelmed by sugary sweetness.
Fort Glen The Blender's Reserve 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Perfectly OK, but a bit whisky by numbers.
Fort Glen The Distiller's Reserve
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Hard nose and lacking in individuality.
Frisky Whisky Milroy's
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Frisky to say the least! The palate is much more talkative and pleasant than the nose. Would be great in a granite with strawberries.
Gordon & MacPhail Glen Calder
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 On the sweet side, although the finish brings out a more assertive note. A good winter warmer.
Grant's 12 Years old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Would take ice and ginger well. Very good blending.
Grant's 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
Seems more mature than its age. A rich, complex blend.
Grant's 18 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
Clearly the 12 Years Old's bigger and darker brother.
Grant's 25 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 A delicate and enticing whisky which would have benefited from a higher
strength. When you want to try a little tenderness.
Grant's 25 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 43.00%
More lifted than the 12 and 18. The perfumed note is rather dominant.
Grant's Family Reserve
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Does exactly what it sets out to do.
Grant's Sherry Cask
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Masculine. Rather austere, aloof.
Grant's Stand Fast
Blended - Scotland - 0.00%
7 Not even a whispering whisky. Almost silent! I appreciate light delicate whiskies but there is a limit to self-effacing characters!
Grant's The Family Reserve
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
A teasing mix of sweet and dry. One of the best ‘standards'.
Greenwich Meridian 2000 Blended Scotch
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Seems like an attempt at an old-fashioned blend, but a bit two-dimensional.

Solid and dependable.
Hankey Bannister 21 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 43.00%

Multi-award winning –and you can see why. Mature, complex and elegant.
Hankey Bannister Original
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
Lightly peppery coriander seed.
Highland Harvest Organic Scotch Whisky
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Well put together. Not hugely complex, but a pleasant dram.
Islay Mist 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Needs water to open the nose, but the palate is rather simple.
