Scotch Whisky reviews

I've been hoovering up Mortlachs left, right and centre recently, so when I saw this had spent it's nine years in an ex sherry butt (amount of fills unknown!), I bit. Quite interested to see how it…

I have to admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for The Dalmore. Despite the liberal application of fake tan and the generally low abv, I tend to enjoy their expressions. One of my oldest and dearest…
