  Balvenie 21 Year old Port Wood Finish - Port Aroma

  By tabendar on 24th May 20112011-05-24T20:06:00

  90

  Typical aroma expected with a wine-finished whisky. Signs of old oak aging with a fruitiness similar to that of old bourbon casks. Nicely subtle entry of the malt with the fading of the fruitiness.

  Juicy delivery that leads into a barely sugar backing with sweet reinforcements. Slight oakiness with a slow spice profile.

  Bushmills Black Bush - Aromatic

  Firm aroma and a wonderful taste. Hints of apple and toffee with less evident malt and spices. Wonderful oak characteristics giving this one high quality complexity for the price.

  Bowmore 15 Year old Mariner New Presentation - Intrestingly Peaty

  By tabendar on 24th May 20112011-05-24T19:56:00

  Nice, complex peatiness to this one. Picked it up in a Duty Free. Potent on the palate but smooths out quickly. One of my favorites from the Islay region.

  Glenmorangie 10 Year old - Original - Complex and Decently Priced

  By tabendar on 24th May 20112011-05-24T19:54:00

  94

  Very aromatic nose with a delicate first sip. Complex whisky with a sweet yet dry, young but oaky characteristic. Subtle toastiness with a nice smokey background. Great for the price.
