Cask Strength so OK Ardbeg 1998 Renaissance

Cutty Sark Storm

Chewier cut Cutty Sark Storm

This is a lovely surprise. Extremely rich for a lower-end blend i'm quite happy to rate it alongside the BNJ 8 as the best value for money available on the market. Simply put you could drink this one all…

Deanston 12 Year Old

Cheap and delicious Deanston 12 Year Old

What's not to like? I can't remember what this cost me, but it was bought locally which means not much. A very kind nose that hints at the sweetness to come beneath a covering layer of cereal, long dry…

Highland Park 21 Year Old

Sorry, Buddy Highland Park 21 Year Old

I don't like it, or I don't like it as much as the rest of you. Maybe it's like seeing ac/dc or Barcelona FC in that you prepare yourself and then instead of blowing you away you just really enjoy you…

Glenrothes Select Reserve

Health Whisky Glenrothes Select Reserve

I love this, absolutely love it, and at this price? Going on my list with Ardbeg 10 as just something that everyone should have. Delicious, and if you close your eyes and think of heaven you could act…

Bushmills Black Bush

Blends4EvaMan Bushmills Black Bush

I hate whisky snobs (Sorry if you are one). What's wrong with this - short answer, nothing. It's a fun, complicated, busy whisky for all that it's a dirty Irish blend, bey.Nose: Honeyed (sherry?) swee…
