Auchentoshan 35 yo 1975 Bourbon Matured

March 3, 2013

Even afer 35 years the wood only contributes a nice spiciness without overpowering the fruit. – Rating: 88/100

Auchentoshan 1990 Silveroak

March 3, 2013

This malt has a very nice fruity and creamy base that is enhanced by rather strong wood spices. – Rating: 85/100

Garnheath 43 yo 1967/2010 Clan Denny

March 2, 2013

A very hard to find distillery, and what a fruit bomb this is. The wood has taken over a little too much for a 90+ score. – Rating: 88/100

Port Askaig 19 yo Cask Strength

February 26, 2013

Quite a dry dram with a light bitterness on the palate. The finish is a bit timid. – Rating: 84/100

Midleton 20 yo 1991 For The Whisky Exchange

February 25, 2013

This is what Irish whiskey is all about, a true benchmark for the ‘pure potstill’ style. – Rating: 92/100

Springbank 19 yo Cask 129 and 482 Master of Malt

February 20, 2013

Two rather different Springers compared head to head – Ratings: 84/100 and 88/100

Boxes Blend

February 19, 2013

A very nice whisky with a somehow quiet character, nothing to ponder about, just to sip and relax. This is suprisingly good blending work by an amateur. – Rating: 82/100

Tobermory 17 yo 1995/2012 Master of Malt

February 17, 2013

Very spicy but still quite enjoyable, the mouthfeel is coating and a nice sweetness balances the spice. – Rating: 82/100

Writer’s Tears

February 16, 2013

Very gentle and very closed. It is not a bad whisky but it is difficult to find something noteworthy in it. – Rating: 76/100

Arran 16 yo 1996/2012 Master of Malt

February 12, 2013

Sharp alcohol and rather strong spice hit your palate, the rest of flavours can barely keep up. – Rating: 80/100

Mortlach 21 yo Gordon & MacPhail

February 11, 2013

A nice dram it is for sure but nothing really breathtaking, and not a very typical ‘meaty’ Mortlach either. – Rating: 83/100

Clynelish 15 yo 1997/2012 Master of Malt

February 8, 2013

A pretty typical younger Clynelish where a nice freshness is combined with the waxy and fruity house style. – Rating: 83/100

Still Waters 1+11

February 8, 2013

A rather straighforward and enjoyable Canadian whisky. It does not boast a great complexity but for casual sipping it is just about right.- Rating: 80/100
