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.
Highland Park Cask Strength
With winter weather just around the corner for so many of us, we revisit this review of Highland Park’s Cask Strength Batch 001 edition by Broddy. He sought stronger flavours and peat smoke. What he found was potent, dense, and clinging.
Highland Park 13yo & Cask Deep-dive
Very good whisky, and a huge Tyree deep-dive into cask influence
Benrinnes Flora & Fauna 15yo
Diageo holds the reins firmly on its stable, despite the colts wanting to break free
Kilchoman Loch Gorm
A solid entry into the peat-plus-sherry category for autumn and winter
Springbank 12yo Cask Strength Vertical
The wee toon in quintessential quadruplet cask-strength form
