A splendid Scapa, with roasted nuts, chicory and pear liqueur giving way to salt, pepper, shellfish and tart apples.
A surprisingly elegant dram, with magnificent Seville orange, green walnut, resin and refined peppers, finishing long, herbal and perfectly synchronised.
Lots of smoke! Much softer palette (though we’ve had a few drams).
Unbelievable. A fruit basket on the nose. Meaty, waxy, complex.
This reminded me a lot of a desert wine. Very fruity, sweet, soft. Was really good when paired with the Minger (cheese) we had. Great dram to convince someone…

Extraordinarily fresh, with almond and hazelnut creams, prunes in Armagnac, coffee chocolate, walnut wine and a long, fruity finish.
Elegant and restrained, this Longmorn combines vanilla chestnut cream, praline, salted caramel, milk chocolate and ripe orchard fruits.
An outspoken yet elegant old-style sherry whisky, rich in tobacco, sour berries, tea and dark cocoa, with oak spice that occasionally grows a little loud.

A wonderful old Speysider, herbal and spicy with fruit peelings, candied lemon, liquorice wood and a signature unsweetened café latte note.
