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.
Glenmorangie 16yo The Tribute
Broddy spots a tall bottle with appealing specs; 16 years and all ex-bourbon. He’s in. Glenmorangie too. Expecting an amplified 12yo, he’s left, not for the first time, rueing unmet expectations.
Bruichladdich Classic Laddie Sherry Cask
When is travel retail not actually travel retail? And when should it be everywhere retail? Dougie gets ripped into Bruichladdich’s hidden gem amidst flying angst and acronyms.
Fettercairn 14yo
Wally celebrates Dramface being noticed and shares why he thinks that is, and it's a bit like the strategy that Fettercairn seems to be having a go at recently. He likes.
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked vs Knob Creek 9yo Small Batch
Shuffling through airports is a thing once more for Hamish. At travel retail, he dodges the aisles of Scotch and Irish dullness to plump for some bourbon exploration - in litre bottles.
