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.
Glenallachie 10 Cask Strength
When aspects of life challenge, Archie has discovered the joy of a walk in the woods. But these are no ordinary woods, and this is tree therapy. He brings along the Glenallachie 10yo Cask Strength.
Meikle Tòir 5yo The Turbo
On his 3rd attempt, Felix manages to snag a Meikle Tòir - The Turbo; an annual peat bomb that has always intrigued him. However, with time to interrogate, it gives him the toughest of scoring quandaries.
Glenallachie 9yo Amontillado
After Broddy's Sherrygeddon experience, he continues pull upon the Amontillado Sherry thread. This time its the limited Wood Collection Series from Glenallachie.
Turntable Track 06 All My Life
Gilbert confesses his music loves and realises music matches mood and moments; a lot like whisky. But does Turntable’s Track 06 - All My Life - live up to the grungie name? Wally chips in too.
GlenAllachie 8yo
What a treat for a Friday; Dougie turns 40 with loved ones, a Glenallachie 8yo Scottish Oak and an Ardnamurchan 10yo that we'll need to bully him, or treat him, to hear more about.
MacNairs 21yo v Enigma 25yo
Fed up with grey days and bad news, Fletcher cracks open two well-aged blends on a budget to see if they can bring a little lightness. A Glenallachie made NacNair’s 21yo vs a Cadenhead’s 25yo.
Glenallachie’s Meikle Tòir Trio
With so many whiskies being released it’s hard to keep up. Wally spends an entire article making excuses while admitting to the new normal; solid, reliable, tasty whiskies. Predictable but reassuring, like these new Glenallachie Meikle Tòir releases.
Glenallachie 10 Cask Strength
After listening to “connoisseurs” preaching spirit and cask balance, Drummond found himself panicking he’d got it wrong. But revisiting an old Glenallachie Cask Strength or two has helped both him and Broddy come around again.
