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.
Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
An average and tasty dram that ainβt gonna break the bank
Bladnoch 14yo
When weβre talking about premium whisky brands, all too often the only thing being βpremiumβ is the price tag
Lochlea First Release
Lochleaβs first whisky is mild and pleasant - just donβt expect fireworks
Knockando 12yo
βA whisky for drinking, not thinkingβ; solid but nothing overly complex.
Compass Box: The Orchard House
Compass Box are back with a fruity addition to their (apple) core range
Apogee 12yo from Bimber
A tasty crowd-pleaser from Londonβs Bimber - thatβs too expensive
Single Malts of Scotland Mannochmore 11yo
A prime example of how refill barrels can work well with a lighter style of whisky.
Limavady Single Malt Single Barrel
A decent showing but plenty of more worthy competition at the price point.
