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.
Glen Garioch Founder’s Reserve

Tamnavulin Red Wine Cask
While the palate doesn’t match the pleasant note, it’s a solid and fruity malt.
SMWS Glen Spey 9yo Deep Impact Dram
Exactly what it says on the tin. Delicious, biscuity dram.
Kilkerran Heavily Peated Batch 6

Kingsbarns Distillery Reserve
A magical moment of masterful whisky. Gratefully not the last we’ll see.
