Dalmore 18 Year Old

Proper Warming Dalmore 18 Year Old

Nose: Normally I normally don't get the Dalmore chocolate for some reason, which is a terrible shame because people have always told me how special. I get the chocolate here. Was worth the wait. …

Glengoyne 21 Year Old

Gorgeous, bit burnt behind Glengoyne 21 Year Old

Nose: Extraordinary, a real lift, one of my favourite noses. I've seen it described as "punch" elsewhere, I don't understand this at all, for me it's a lovely drawn lift from the glass. Yum. Butter…

Glenfarclas 25 Year Old

Lots to do Glenfarclas 25 Year Old

Nose: Breathe deep. This is gorgeous and not at all harmed by the drop of alcohol, which is very consistent. Lots of sherry, which is the key note, then marmalade. It's a lovely wee experience.Mouth…

Tomatin 30 Year Old

Good, but not as good as the Price Tomatin 30 Year Old

Nose: Very unusual stuff! Needs some agitating before the nose really starts to come to the fore and i'd suggest avoiding a tumbler with this dram in order that you catch it. There's a sweet syrup note…

Glen Scotia 18 Year Old

Avoid at this Price Glen Scotia 18 Year Old

Nose: Pretty great. Sweet, but puts me in mind of the Old Pultney 17 saltiness, too, plus you have some smoke, more syrupy sweetness, citrus, vanilla, a really special nose that had me full on drooling…

Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year Old

Monster Nose Johnnie Walker Green Label 15 Year Old

Nose: Pretty glorious at the price a wee bit of an experience all on its own! What I like about it is it combines the wet outdoors with the fireplace type nose. So a little earthy but also probably…

Ardbeg Uigeadail

Earthy Bliss Ardbeg Uigeadail

THIS is a dram worth paying for. Nose: Smells like Christmas basically, fruit cake, pine, brackish water and the outdoors generally. It's not an ATG nose but it hints at what's coming.Mouth: Surrenders…

Talisker 1975 25 Year Old

Plenty going on, but rounded Talisker 1975 25 Year Old

Nose: Stewed Fruit, Sherry, caught on a freshness and spiked with maybe a little ginger? All bound up in a "thickness" that some complex whisky has to me.Mouth: Incredible meeting of tang and smooth,…

Balvenie 15 Year Old

A Gorgeous Nose Balvenie 15 Year Old

Nose: I love the nose on this whisky. It's so fragile yet pervasive. It's like being outside near buttercups but that's overwhelmed a bit by tiny multiple (seeming) notes of honey and dried orange peel…
