8 Saves all the action for the finish. Very appetising.
Adelphi Shannon Grain 1991, 9 Years Old, Cask 10839
Single Grain - Ireland - 67.30%
6 For a grain whiskey, it has plenty of flavours, but they do not hang together very well.
Berry's Own Selection Auchroisk 1991 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.60%
7 An interesting dram. The palate is lighter than expected but fresh and lively. Perfect companion for a fruit salad with a ginger icecream.
Berry's Own Selection Glencadam 13 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 A pleasant freshener. Delivers a lot. To be enjoyed on a warm day with raw fish and salad.
Berry's Own Selection Glencadam 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 A dram for a sweet tooth. Nearly sugary. Unbalanced.
Berry's Own Selection Mortlach
- Scotland - 56.40%
7 A 70s playboy...all mirrored shades, suede jacket,woody aftershave and cigar.
Bowmore 16 Years Old Port Matured
Single Malt - - 53.10%
7 Substantial and well balanced (bar that perfumed note).
Chieftain's Choice Rosebank 1991 Sherry Finish, 11 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 An attractive medium-bodied Rosebank. The sherry finish has added complexity to delicacy. Some exotic notes which makes it really appetising.
Connoisseur's Choice Clynelish 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Well-balanced and complex as a Clynelish should be. A good, solid afterdinner dram.
Connoisseur's Choice Lochside 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Never a classic, but the closure of a distillery is a loss. Lochside was a pleasant whisky, and now it is a collector's item.
Cooper's Choice Bruichladdich 1991, 12 Years Old, Portwood
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Very appetising. Long, lingering.
Cooper's Choice Caol Ila 1991, 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 A perfectly decent dram, but just lacks the required interaction between wood and spirit.
Cooper's Choice Glenlivet 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 A delicious afterdinner malt.
Dewar Rattray Bowmore 1991, 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.60%
7 Old Bowmore is fascinating: it either becomes light and tropical with no smoke or reduces into this anchovy like concentration.
Dewar Rattray Bruichladdich 1991, 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.00%
8 Savoury. Summery. A picnic malt. Or eating freshly shucked oysters with Jim McEwan.
Dewar Rattray Caol Ila 1991, 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.70%
8 Fishy yet sweet. Kipper crumble in a hospital anyone?
Evan Williams 1991 (Bottled 2000)
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30%
Fuller,but well balanced.
Evan Williams 1991, Single Barrel
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 43.30%
8 Where did she go? Will she return?
Glen Moray Mountain Oak The Final Release
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.60%
7 More of a whisky spread than a drink. For those with a sweet tooth.
Glenfarclas The Family Casks 1991 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10%
7 I think this one has let the wood gain the upper hand, unfortunately.
Glenfiddich 1991 Vintage Reserve
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Gentle. Accessible. Enjoyable.
Glenlivet Nadurra Triumph 1991 Vintage Edition
Single Malt - Scotland - 48.00%
8 A lovely dram, more spring-time than autumnal. To enjoy with shellfish.
Gordon & MacPhail Bladnoch 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.80%
7 The nose is unusual, closer to a sour Chinese broth than a whisky! But the palate restores an expected floral Lowland freshness.
Gordon & MacPhail Caol Ila 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.40%
8 What you nose is what you get. A beautiful uncompromising version of Caol Ila. More enjoyable when neat.
Ichiro's Malt Eight of Hearts 1991
Single Malt - Japan - 56.80%
7 An intense flavour package.
Lagavulin Distillers Edition 1991
- Scotland - 43.00%
8 Peat and iodine are not all. There's got to be texture and complexity. And this one has got it all.
Linkwood Cote Rotie
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
7 For me the cask is over-dominant.
Lombard Springbank 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
8 Jumps and bites. This is the young Springbank, not yet the mature sophisticate.
Magilligan 1991 Limited Edition, Sherry Wood Finish
Single Malt - Ireland - 46.00%
7 Finishing Cooley's peated malt in a sherry wood for a year works a lot better than I imagined, and makes me wonder what an unpeated malt would taste like after a year in Jerez.
Magilligan 1991 Sherry Wood Finish
Single Malt - Ireland - 46.00%
7 I liked the lively 8 Years Old version. Would I be tempted away by something smoother, more mature? I would think about it...maybe.
Master of Malt Cragganmore 20 Years Old, 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.20%
7 An unexpectedly light (but well balanced) Cragganmore.
Master of Malt North British 1991 20 Years Old
Single Grain - Scotland - 55.80%
7 It might lack the layering you want from a 20 year old but its vibrancy is to
be praised.
Mercian Single Cask, 1991
Single Malt - Japan - 62.80%
7 Pleasant. Could be slightly rounder.
Midleton Single Cask 1991 10 Years Old
Pot Still - Republic of Ireland - 53.70%
8 Complex, subtle. Recommended quite a bunch this issue.
Miyagikyo 1991, Cask No. 117705
Single Malt - Japan - 61.00%
7 Quite a nice refreshing dram when generously diluted.
Old Malt Cask Bowmore 1991, 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 Lightweight, but very drinkable.
Old Malt Cask Caol Ila 1991, 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
8 Conclusion: Another perfectly fine Coal Ila, but nothing to blow the mind.
Old Masters Bruichladdich 1991 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.70%
7 The Laddie in austere mood. Best before dinner.
Private Collection Imperial 1991 Port Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 More Imperial than Port. With or without Port, I would like to see more Imperial.
Signatory Caol Ila 1991, Port Wood
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 I would like to try this with lamb.
Smoked Sausages Islay 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 It's young and seems to have been too heavily reduced.
Springbank Rum Wood, 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.20%
7 Almost as if it is still coming together.
Tamnavulin 1991 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 Why bottle a 15 Years Old single cask at 40%?
The Dalmore 1991, Madeira Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.00%
8 The wine smoothes but it is not there yet. Too young? Not enough finishing? It should have gone back to sleep.
The Glenrothes 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Big and powerful but with sufficient character to cope. Another cracker from Rothes.
Tomatin 1991 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.80%
7 A pleasant dram. A touch of water brings out a refined oak frame and beeswax. A kind of spicy fruit salad.
Wemyss Vintage Malts Apples and Pears 1991
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 A strange package that almost works.
Wemyss Vintage Malts Honey Spice 1991
Blended - Scotland - 46.00%
8 Balanced and with good energy.
Yamazaki 1991 Bourbon Cask
Single Malt - Japan - 60.00%
7 An interesting interplay of flavours. Comes to rather an abrupt halt.
Yamazaki 1991 Sherry Cask
Single Malt - Japan - 61.00%
7 Can the elegant Yamazaki whisky stand up to heavy sherry? In this case, yes. A dexterously balanced malt.
Yoichi 1991 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Japan - 58.00%
7 A warm but rich character. Water tames it a little. Some like it hot !
Yoichi 1991, Cask No 129504
Single Malt - Japan - 64.00%
8 Another outdoor drink combining estery elegancy and phenolic pungency. High strength must be monitored with water.
