A satisfying creamy whisky with ripe apples, stewed pears, ginger-like oak spice and icing sugar, balanced by mineral and herbal notes.
A good Laphroaig with tarry smoke, sea spray and iodine balanced by sherry-driven chocolate, berries and caramel, though it lacks a little texture.
Amazingly complex, with shoe polish, walnuts, tobacco, balsamic touches and amontillado, this is a sublime surprise with a spectacular finish.
Elegant and complex, this Ardmore balances old-school smoke and farmyard character with a beautiful waxy side, vibrant fruits, nuts and ashy notes.
A really nice Mannochmore with excellent balance, blending ripe orchard fruits and sherry-rich dried fruit with coffee, marmalade, vanilla and baking spice.
Intense, pressure-cooked, heavily peated single malt with iodine, seaweed, barbecue smoke and sulphur that works surprisingly well.
A lovely nose leads to a powerful, almost phenolic palate of orange cordial, pink peppercorns and charcoal, with magnificent speculoos and a balanced, fruity…
Delicate and refined, it combines green tea, apple and pear compote, vanilla, and fresh citrus, with lively menthol and resinous wood.
A syrupy, sticky whisky dominated by dark red fruits, caramel and overpowering sherry influence, requiring a particular mood to appreciate.
Quite a stunner with a decadent mouthfeel, above average complexity and a lovely combination of fruit and funk.
A delicious single malt with buttery notes, zesty fruitiness, fresh apples and a pleasant Orval-like funkiness.
Lively and fresh, with apples and lemons, herbal tea and a malty finish; genuinely good and very well made.
A honeyed, fruit-forward nose of stewed apples, glazed peaches and blueberries gives way to a spicier, nuttier palate with more wood than hoped for.
Rich and seemingly more natural, it offers blackberries, caramelized nuts and chocolate, while Amarone adds tangy wine notes and helps cover the fragile base…
A lightly sherried whisky with biscuits, mirabelles and candied peel on the nose, but its palate turns flat and woody, leaving the reviewer unimpressed.
Astonishingly compact, with pink peppercorns and sandalwood coated in agave and vineyard-peach syrup, this Daftmill turns gloriously global with water.
Rich and fresh, this lively rye whisky combines bananas, mangoes and vanilla with liquorice, orange liqueur, cinnamon and peppery, lemony oak.
