Ardbeg Uigeadail

A Peaty Storm of Goodness Ardbeg Uigeadail

Intensely smoky. Reminds me of being at a barbeque. The palate is sweet caramelized oak with a flurry of fruits and then the pleasant spices come roaring out in full nutty splendour. Beautifully balanced…

Balvenie 17 Year Old Sherry Oak

Classic Speyside Balvenie 17 Year Old Sherry Oak

The color is such a deep beautiful amber. The nose is very sweet. Creamy on the palate. So smooth you can have it neat or just a few splashes of water to open it up. Very floral. Reminds me of fresh…

Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Oh dear. I'm in love Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Big big nose full of sugar and spices. I felt some Oudh in there some where along with citrusy orange overtones. The texture is beautifully velvet with a mouthful of vanilla, licorice and smoky dry…

Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Finish

My first love Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Finish

I get goosebumps thinking about this one. Such a strong strong nose - as if lying in a field of flowers coated in honey. On it's own the spices wrestle with slowly roasting fruit. Add a dash of water and…

Glenfiddich 18 Year Old

Forever favorite Glenfiddich 18 Year Old

Such a nice oaky nose with a bold mix of tobacco and citrus. Creamy honey texture where all the spices interplay with the glorious sweetness of honey, vanilla and figs. But the champion is spectacular…

Evan Williams 23 Year Old

Feel like a cowboy Evan Williams 23 Year Old

Holy 107 Proof! This bourbon is so good it's not even funny.Drink it neat and the pure alcohol evaporates off your tongue and hits your upper palate. Very nice sweet nose with a touches of woody oak. The…

Elijah Craig 18 Year Old

Love it Elijah Craig 18 Year Old

I can't get over how good bourbon is for the soul. Smooth and satisfying nose full of chocolate and leather. A little subdued on the palate for my liking (I like my bourbons to kick me in the face).…

Wild Turkey 12 Year Old

Cracking! Wild Turkey 12 Year Old

Another gem from the wonderful world of bourbon. All the chocolaty oaky goodness in the nose comes rushing in when you take your first sip. Nice long and dry finish. Luckily I have a bottle that is…

Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood

Left me wanting! Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood

Sweet sweet custard notes come in to play on the nose with sufficient hints of honey. The palate is a warm tingly mix of apple stew with a dollop of sherry on top. The finish is surprisingly long for a…
