Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1974
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 A great wee aperitif. Fresh and fun.

Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 A big powerful bruiser.

Berry's Own Selection Inchgower 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Just lacks a little length. Not as pure as the 74, but I like its weirdness.

Berry's Own Selection Laphroaig 1998
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.50% 7 The smoke saves it - a more active cask would have elevated it.

Berry's Own Selection Lochside 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Well balanced, fresh and pleasant. The finish lacks some depth maybe. But that does not take the pleasure away.

Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1988
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Well balanced. A real wee sweetie.

Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 A perfectly pretty dram but it is almost too light. Even delicate whiskies need backbone.

Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1992
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 What a bizarre bottle...musty nose and fragrant palate.

Berry's Own Selection Rosebank 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 A teasing early freshness is the overture to a richer, modestly structured, conclusion.

Berry's Own Selection Rosebank 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 8 Cute as a button.

Berry's Own Selection Teaninich 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Not a heavyweight nor a sophisticated lad. But a perfect companion for a plate of smokies or a fruit salad.

Black Bull Special Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.60% 8 It's all quite subtle, but rewarding.

Blackadder Arran 1996 Raw Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.80% 7 Slightly gin-like. I have preferred bottlings that had more contribution from the wood. A touch of vanilla would round out the flavours.

Blackadder Ben Nevis 1984 Raw Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.20% 7 Extraordinarily red colour. The sweetness is almost overwhelming. The ultimate dessert whisky.

Blackadder Blairfindy 1980 Raw Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.60% 7 Those flavours in mid-palate afford a glimpse of a delicious malt but the wood is very dominating.

Blackadder Bowmore 1989
Single Malt - Scotland - 63.30% 7 All the elements of Bowmore, and plenty of alcohol, but extra dimension.

Blackadder Caol Ila 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.50% 8 Light in the middle, and delicate throughout, but lovely Islay flavours.

Blackadder Isle of Jura 1988
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.40% 6 Nose better than palate. A tired cask?

Blackadder Longmorn 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.90% 7 This mahogany dram looks like a winter warmer, and that is how I would use it.

Blackadder Mortlach 1989
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.50% 8 Enjoyable, with an appropriate touch of earthy rawness, but not as statuesque as this elegant whisky can be.

Blackadder Old Man Of Hoy Single Orcadian Scotch Malt Whisky
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.00% 7 Weak in the middle. Lacks roundness.

Blackadder Rosebank 1992
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.00% 7 Far from Rosebank at its best. Fiery.

Bladnoch 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 Lots of aromas and flavours, but lacks structure. Curiously flat.

Bladnoch 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.00% 7 The nose is sweeter than the palate. Water takes away some of the astringency but leaves a bitter taste.

Blair Athol 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 The obvious sherry ageing really suits Blair Athol. It is a malt that matures quickly, and this is very sophisticated for its age. A lovely whisky.
