All Whisky reviews

In my experience, Glengoyne is always a pleasure. It is a great whisky that never disappoints. That does not mean it is always superb, but it is the kind of whisky I will buy without trying first. This…

The autumn release of Malts of Scotland has arrived. That means work for me. I will open the debates with the first Aberlour from this bottler in their so-called ‘46’-series. You have guessed it: the…

I have very little experience with Fettercairn. This is only my 7th so far. It is also the second by Malts of Scotland. I remember the first well – a 22 Year Old from 1990 on a bourbon cask – and found…
