Smokehead

Nice Mystery Malt Smokehead

My first 'mystery' single malt, which means the distillery is unknown (it's been packaged by someone else). As the name suggest it's heavily peated on the nose with all sorts of oily salts with a hint…

Ardmore - Traditional Cask

Exceptional Highland Malt Ardmore - Traditional Cask

This Highland malt is possibly the best value for money single malt out there. The nose is beautifully smoky with a deft touch of vanilla infused apples. Toffee, caramel and honey flow over the palate…

Johnnie Walker Blue Label

Nice but not amazing Johnnie Walker Blue Label

Very nice blend though I'm never sure what I'm expected to taste. It seems like all the individual malts used in making this blend were awesome but some how together they don't do any thing spectacular…

Highland Park 12 Year Old

Extremely competent Highland Park 12 Year Old

A very nice younger expression of one of my absolute favorites (the 18 Year old). The nose is gentle yet firm with honey and barley and a touch of oak. Excellent delivery which is layered with a touch…

Ardbeg Alligator

Brilliant Islay goodness Ardbeg Alligator

Very typically Ardbeg on the nose. Lots of peat delivering a good quantity of spices and licorice. The delivery takes you by surprise as you expect something gigantic but what you get is, in fact, very…

Auchentoshan Three Wood

Understated Auchentoshan Three Wood

A relatively understated malt, this. Nice nose full of toffee, butterscotch and hints of vanilla. Some fruits in there some where. Palate was a similar undertaking though marginally inferior to the nose…

Glen Grant 1992 - Cellar Reserve

Brilliant Glen Grant 1992 - Cellar Reserve

Beautifully fragrant nose full of floral fruitiness - a satisfying sniff indeed. The palate brings you a nice hint of peaty smoke rubbed with ginger spices on a bed of lemon zest and marmalade. The…

Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength

An eye opener Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength

At a mighty 57% the Springbank is an immediate eye-opener (and I mean that literally!). A lot of citrus on the nose (lime zest, orange peel) mingled with a curious case of burnt sugar. This was of course…
