    So, we continue our little journey through the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, and this time with the T.H.Handy 2010, straight Rye.I’m quite fond of rye whiskies, and this one is no exception. It turned… read more

  • - Wonderful Wheated Bourbon, a must

    This baby is a wheated Bourbon, and as such offers a milder , yet rich Bourbon not as bity as the Rye, but very different from the standard Bourbon profile. It’s aged for 12 years, having been distilled… read more

    The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (with a profile right here on Connosr!) chose this refill bourbon barrel, containing Rosebank that was put to sleep in July 1991. They bottled it at age 18 and gave it the… read more

    Nose: A quite sweet and fresh start on vanilla and dried apricot, spiced walnut cake showing nutmeg, cinnamon and some lemon rind but not at all heavy. Some quite floral notes sit behind with delicate … read more

  • SMWS 93.38 - Stirs the atavistic soul - Pull up to the bumper baby!

    Pull up to the bumper baby! Nose: An awful lot going on here - this is not the most accessible bouquet I've come across but that's not to say I don't relish a challenge! There's an underlying sweetness… read more

    Reading my notes back for this whisky, I'm convinced its one of those bottles that a) you would never expect, b) would probably never choose to taste based on your own notes, and c) you're so glad exists… read more

  • SMWS G1.7 - Flamed Christmas Pudding - Go with the grain...

    "A grain whisky?", I hear you cry. "I thought this was a malt society?" Hang on though. This is no normal grain whisky. Some time back around the birth of the interwebs (Christmas 1990), the spirit for… read more

    I approached this one with slightly less excitement than I usually do with an SMWS bottling – I haven't been overwhelmed by the Bowmore whisky I've tried in the past. When it comes to Islay I love Ardbeg… read more

  • SMWS 105.14 - A sweet song with deeper resonances - Freshly painted with fruity emulsion

    The Tormore distillery was the first Scottish distillery to be built in the 20th century (in 1958-1960), and sounds like one of the more intriguing distilleries to visit - some Googling tells me it has… read more

    I must admit this is the first Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) bottling I've tried, so I've had to make extra special attempts to stop excitement getting in the way. Apparently excited tastings make the… read more

    Nose: Quite hot and a little reserved at first. Rich and somewhat meaty sherry but with enough freshness to not leave you feeling that the malt has been completely overpowered, fig and raisin sit at the… 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
