Gordon & MacPhail Tamdhu 1981 Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 No, I don't think I was being suggestible. An unusually complex Tamdhu.

Gordon & MacPhail Teaninich 1983
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Well worth sampling, but don't expect anything fancy. This is a workaday malt.

Gordon & MacPhail The Glenrothes 1965

Gordon & MacPhail The Macallan 1993 Speymalt
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Another unusual Macallan. Well-balanced. No sherry overload. Second-or third-fill maybe. Or a Fino cask?

Harris Whisky No Ordinary 16 Years Old

Harris Whisky Tamdhu 14 Years Old

Hart Brothers Balmenach 1972, 30 Years Old Port Wood
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.10% 7 Very distinctive. Bring on the chicken mole.

Hart Brothers Caol Ila 23 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 For its age, not at all woody, but lacking in roundness. The flavours seem to be coming apart.

Hart Brothers Glen Grant 1972, 29 Years Old Sherrywood

Highland Park 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Pleasant but undramatic. I was a little disappointed to find out it was Highland Park… surely we can do better than this?

Highland Park 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 9 If I smoked I would have a cigar with this one.

Highland Park 1958
Single Malt - Scotland - 44.00% 8 Some drinkers might perfer this great whisky slightly younger and fresher. Those who like a touch of oak will find this very elegant.

Highland Park 1970 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.00% 9 A slow, learned intellectual of a malt. If you are going to put out a 40yo, here's the benchmark.
