A lovely, very floral nose leads to an excellent palate of magnificent spices, firm honey, and toasted and roasted nuts, finishing drier with cocoa and tobacco.
Very funky on the nose, and it carries through on the tongue. Not my thing - too much on the sherry/sulfur
Its very sherry, very on-label.
Would definitely pick this one up.
2010 (Old Label) - really funky on the nose. Very umami.
Delicious on the nose, palate and finish. Prunes, raisins, brown sugar.
An utterly idiosyncratic bourbon with vanilla, roasted peanuts, fudge and nougat, leading to an elegant, powerfully woody palate and a notably dry finish.
A charming, textured whiskey with oriental pastries, orange blossom and vanilla cake on the nose, followed by spicy floral notes, rye, honey and fresh butter.
The name nails it. The nose is a musty ocean side pier, but the taste on this one is great. Definitely a pleasant surprise!
Equinox & Solstice: Ardnamurchan, Ord, Mannochmore…
A light, inoffensive blend with citrus, green apple, vanilla and honey, though its limited flavors and short finish make it more of a bar dram than a home pour.
Lovely and never tiring, this whisky balances medicinal peat, salty smoke and sea spray with candied fruit, citrus, mango and pear syrup.
Rich and polished, this heavily sherried Glenrothes delivers layers of dark fruit, chocolate, tobacco and spice, with a long finish of bitter coffee.
A beautiful Bunnahabhain with refined sherry influence, perfectly polished by time, offering elegant fruits, coastal notes, tobacco and precious woods.
Amazing nose. Makes me think of a cream fruit. Very spicy on the tongue.
This bottle was signed for us by Alex Thomas master blender, and man what a pour. Berries, raspberries, lingonberries, sweet and tart, a touch of leather…
Rich and complex, with stewed apples, caramel, red grapes, plums and baking spices, though French oak brings a slightly wine-driven, nervous edge.
A complex and rich whisky with a glorious nose of stewed plums, cherry jam, leather and toasted oak, though the old wine casks leave a blemish.
