Berry's Own Selection Clynelsih 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 A very pleasing dram with decent balance, but just a touch too discreet.

Berry's Own Selection Glenlivet 27 Years Old 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 52.20% 7 The nose is enticing but the palate is overwhelmed by the wood. And water exacerbates the astringency.

Berry's Own Selection Port Ellen
- Scotland - 46.00% 8 This is top notch stuff. One of the best Port Ellen's for some while. Snap it up.

Bowmore 29 Years Old, 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 47.30% 7 One of those Bowmores.

Bushmills 1982 Bourbon Cask
Single Malt - Ireland - 57.80% 8 An unusually dry expression of Bushmills. Complex. Austere. Bushmills needs a touch of sherry sweetness.

Celtique Connexion Caol Ila 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A confusion of flavours that don't seem to have rounded in the cask

Chieftain's Choice Brora 1982, 19 Years Old, Sherry Butt
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Pure mastered (and mastering) Oloroso style. But where is the spirit contribution?

Craigellachie Hotel Craigellachie 1982, 2003 Single cask bottling, 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.70% 7 I hope we will be seeing a little more of Craigellachie.

Dewar Rattray 1982 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.50% 7 Perfect balance. An extremely good Caol Ila. Recommended.

Duncan Taylor 1982 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.40% 7 Very strange. The nose and palate are miles apart.

Gordon & MacPhail Port Ellen 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 A restrained example of this fine malt, but the silent still is almost out of stock. There will be few further opportunities to buy.

Hakushu 1982 Sherry Cask
Single Malt - Japan - 61.00% 7 I would love this whisky if it had a little less wood. I want to love it anyway, but in the end the wood defeats me.

Lombard Brora 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 Every time I pick up the glass, I find new flavours. A Scottish aquavit to send the Danes packing.

Mackillop's Choice Linlithgow 1982, Cask 1336
Single Malt - Scotland - 62.60% 7 Very pungent and powerful for a Lowlander. Tending toward harshness. This seems typical of these last Linlithgows.

Old Malt Cask Port Ellen 1982 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 A big beast of a Port Ellen, nicely caught before the sherry-wood tipped it over the edge.

Old Malt Cask Port Ellen Sherry 1982 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 7 A phenolic fellow. Tough on the nose, sweet on the palate. But the aromatic profile is not exciting.

Rare Malts Brora 1982, 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.10% 8 Refreshing start; soothing finish. Quite a trick.

Rare Old St Magdalene 1982
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Livelier, fresher, less "difficult" flavours than in most bottlings.

Scott's Selection Aultmore 1982 29 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.40% 8 Well-made and well-matured.

Talisker 1982, 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.80% 9 Doesn't sound enjoyable? You bet it was.

The Whisky Fair Port Ellen Sherry 1982 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.60% 7 Anenticing nose,a gentle feel but the alcohol spoils the pleasure. It needs a good dash of water to be drinkable but then loses some aromatic impact.

Yamazaki Sherry Wood, 1982
Single Malt - Japan - 45.00% 7 Any whisky-lover would be glad of the chance to taste this, even if it is on the woody side.
