Scotch Whisky reviews

This review is from a bottle I brought after I'd had a few sips from the sample of Bladnoch 10 kindly provided by @Timp. I decided to do a side by side between the 11 and the 10. The Bladnoch 11 is a…

This review is of a sample of the highly regarded Bladnoch 10 released in 2019 and now sadly no longer available. The sample was kindly provided by @Timp.NoseBest way I could describe this is it smells…

I only recently tried a Dalmunach 2015 for Klubb23 and behold, here is a sister cask. This one first matured on a bourbon cask before it got a finish of 3 months on a small sherry wood cask. I can ima…
