Whisky Reviews

Here you'll find honest opinions, thoughtful analysis and the occasional disagreement, because no two palates are quite the same. We review widely, score reluctantly and remain convinced that whisky is far more interesting than the numbers attached to it.

Agreement is optional; curiosity is encouraged.

Ardnamurchan Sauternes

Dougie has been out injured. All his own doing, of course. He’s now medicating in a bath of Sauternes-flavoured Ardnamurchan. Four of them, actually. He’s been missed.

ArdnAmerica 2024

A nice segue on from yesterday’s article, Nick thinks about age statements with Ardnamurchan’s latest USA exclusive ArdnAmerica release. Cue NYC backdrops & deploy the Doog!
