Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 9 My favourite expression of whisky's greatest all rounder. Sets an incredibly high standard for Highland Park to maintain.

Highland Park 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Strangely similar to a golden rum - albeit a smoky one.

Single Malt - Scotland - 48.10%

Highland Park Earl Haakon
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.90% 7 That whisky definitely needs water. But it lacks balance and charm. The alcohol is not mastered.

Highland Park Earl Magnus Edition 1
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.60% 8 A refreshing and enticing dram. Charming. an easy-going complexity. Water gives it a lovely silky feel.

Ileach Single Malt

Inverleven 1979 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.10% 7 This whisky definitely needs water to extinguish the fire. Would have benefited from a bottling at a lower strength.

Inverleven Deoch an Dora 1973

Isle of Jura 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 More wood-extract, or sherry, than I remember. I prefer a drier expression.
