Glenlivet 18 Year Old

A Great Late Night dram Glenlivet 18 Year Old

A brilliant nose smacking of honeycomb, burnt citrus, chocolate, treacle, traces of banana and fruity barley. Dry and silky smooth palate full of glorious spices like star anise and cinnamon. But mostly…

Most distinct nose and flavor Suntory Yamazaki 12 Year Old

The nose is a delightful bouquet of desserts and floral goodness. My first impression is strong custard, cookies and butterscotch. Mixed in with that are tiny rose petals sprayed with lavender mist. One…
