Simple yet excellent, it offers pears, apples and plums before turning earthy, salty and rooty, with a vigorous farmhouse-cider character.

Simple yet excellent, it offers pears, apples and plums before turning earthy, salty and rooty, with a vigorous farmhouse-cider character.
Peaty, herbal and slightly rough in a lovely way, this blended malt is praised as excellent despite its sharper, more mentholated edge.
A very unusual, challenging and intellectual whisky, with floral, herbal and bitter notes transformed by water into lovely pear and fresh turmeric.
The reviewer finds it excellent, with sherry very much present but never dominant, alongside coffee fudge, caramelised pecans, spice cake and Seville oranges.
An excellent whisky with fantastic smoky notes of tobacco, roasted chestnut, coffee beans and smoked tea, balanced by a dark sweetness.

An honest, clean and promising Skye-style whisky, pairing deep smokiness with sweet lemons, saltiness, peppermint and darker ashy notes.
A precise, explosive whisky with lemon, chalk, tart citrus and fresh hay, finishing long, fresh and fat with a pleasingly soapy note.
A surprisingly successful “rosé whisky,” balancing raspberries, redcurrants, pepper and artichoke with a long, tart finish of aubergine, blackcurrant and blood…
An absolute killer, with rich mushroom and leek broth, growing umami, orange marmalade, and an extraordinary candied-pear finish.
A rich, well-defined whisky with orange cakes and chocolate, followed by peppered chocolate, toasted buckwheat, and a lovely, long, spicy finish.
An unusually savory dram, bursting with nutmeg, coffee dregs, chickpeas and dried ceps, followed by a very long, spicy and salty finish.
A fun, experimental whisky with lovely citrus notes, but excessive woodiness dominates the palate and makes its character rather puzzling.
A brilliant young Clynelish: fresh, waxy and citrusy, with earthy fruits, a salty touch and a slightly floral finish.
Fruity and vanilla-driven with pear, mandarin and pollen, it turns earthier, sharper and livelier on the palate, finishing rooty, powerful and peppery.
A powerful, waxy whisky filled with tart fruits, salted lemon and briny mandarins, finishing long and saltier than most Clynelish.
