    Perhaps I'm not a Speysider when it comes to the living water, at least not as much as I'd once thought. I have tried some of the top shelf Aberlours and liked them quite a lot, especially the 18 and… read more

    Fantastic explosion of caramels,toffee and sherry. With a lasting finish. The best value 21 year old on the market in my eyes. The 25 is a better bottle but at twice the price..... given a choice a 25 … read more

  • Glenfarclas '105' 20 Year Old - Fierce alcohol, mellow giant

    I'd been keen to try this, rather enjoying the regular 105, though not wanting to shell out the bucks for a full bottle of the 20 year old. I found some 30ml samples for sale and got two. Nose: Toffee,… read more

    I got a small sample of this and was really looking forward to it. So I did a small Glenfarclas vertical. Nose: W.O.W.!! Really rich. Very aged, true, and glorious balsamic. Dense strawberries and st… read more

    Also from a sample. Nose: Sweet and salty. The sweetness is a bit non-descript, but seems to hover between rum and typical oxidative sherried whisky. The salt is part soy and part stale red wine, but in… read more

    From a 50mL mini Nose: Rather like a 10-15 year Demerara rum. Some caramel and coffee. Also a very slightly salty sherry profile of red berries. Also tart like an aged balsamic vinegar. Winey, thick, and… read more
