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.

Adelphi Ardnamurchan 5yo

Something got in the way of Doog’s enjoyment of what’s become ‘his whisky’. Fortunately for all, he worked out what it was, and faced it down. He bring us a MacLean & Bruce 5yo Ardnamurchan to share all.

Maclean’s Nose

We find Wally in an unfortunate huff. In a whisky world with too many examples of things being cynically enshittified, he’s on the hunt for an antidote.
