What a gift to the whisky world. The Talisker 18 year has become my new favorite single malt Scotch. I have been purchasing and sampling many different bottles. Some have been good to excellent while … read more

SMWS 33.80 - A foodie's delight! - No Rollercoaster, this is an Ardbeg big dipper!

Try as you might, its impossible not to get excited when you taste a new Ardbeg whisky for the first time. Let alone a single cask bottling limited to just 242 bottles. This is an 11 year old whisky … read more

Ardbeg 1990 Airigh Nam Beist - Slightly formulaic Islay malt

After galg's review of the Airigh Nam Beist the other day, I though while I was heading down to 'The Lark' to taste their wares, I would also see if they had a bottle lying around (they have a pretty big… read more

Bowmore 17 Year old - A melange of contrasts that somehow comes off brilliantly
By jdcook on 29th Oct 20092009-10-29T10:36:00

Smoke and peat and sea salt. Warm and encompassing - and that's just the initial hit of the nose. Behind that, there are hints of sweetness - particularly chocolate - and a dash of fruitiness. A ge… read more

Highland Park 12 Year old - Perfect middle of the way dram, and very well priced

Since I mentioned this one in my Talisker review, I thought I should pour myself a dram and update my thoughts on the Highland Park 12... The nose is really subtle, even tantalising. Fruity sweetness… read more

Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX - Big malt at a stunning price
By WhiskyNotes on 11th Oct 20092009-10-11T13:24:00

Nose: aromatic and luscious. A very complex play of chocolate, raisins, almonds and toffee. Spicy as well: vanilla, cinnamon, ginger. Richly sherried but it respects the original spirit, with hints of … read more

Aberlour A'bunadh - Quick, some put my mouth out!
By yossiyitzak on 31st Aug 20092009-08-31T17:57:00

65

I've often wondered how the carnival side show people were able to do the things they could. E.G. bang a nail into their face, swallow a sword or eat fire. In the case of the A'Bundah I would say that… read more

Aberlour A'bunadh - Batch#36; Hammer of the Gods
By smokeybarrels on 19th Oct 20112011-10-19T22:26:00

First try of the Aberlour A'bunadh and indeed my first ever cask strength-er. Bottle opened and left for fifteen minutes then returned to with the trepidation of a bomb disposal engineer surveying a s… read more

Johnnie Walker Red Label - Tis wicked stuff to be sure!
By IainVH on 10th Oct 20112011-10-10T14:57:00

62

Sampled (or should I say endured) in a Glencairn without water(although I had a few good mouthfuls afterwards). The legs were the best part, strong and thick like a Samoan rugby players. Colour: Mucky… read more

Highland Park 18 Year old - High Expectations
By Maude on 5th Sep 20112011-09-05T15:50:00

93

I had heard a lot of good on this whisky before I had the pleasure to taste it myself. Some of the well known experts mention it as one of the best from the Highland Park distillery. Therefore I had … read more
