Strathmill 1996 22 Year Cask Strength Collection (Signatory)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed November 24, 2021Oh my god! This is amazing! Baked apple, apple & pear tarte tatin, loads of butter and baked pear. DELICIOUS! Palate has that creamy tea with caramel, white chocolate and roasted hazelnuts feel! -
Nose whoah smokey, tar, coffee bean, coffee bean in chocolate, touch mocha, also some medicinal touch to it. Palate is delicious so much more darkness in it: mocha, dark chocolate, coffee bean in dark chocolate, cedar, cedar in dark chocolate, aniseed, aniseed in dark chocolate. Slightly burnt chocolate. Again tannins are over the roof here. But in a pleasant way. Also quite sweet lingering finish.

Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Madeira Cask 19 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed October 26, 2021Nose: Vanilla bean, marmalade, orange peel, fig. If it was wine I’d call it earthy notes but in old dessert type of wine. Palate has that ooziness about with more vanilla and caramelised dried fruit with cinnamon sprinkle. Long lasting finish -
Balvenie The Sweet Toast of American Oak 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed October 26, 2021Nose is a bit tuned down, I cannot pick up anything but milky fudge and vanilla bean. Palate does feel a bit higher alcohol than it is, quite bitey, but in a kinda pleasant way. It might be actually the oak effect. Again palate has more of fudge and sweet spices with honey and I think a bit of dememrara sugar. In blind I’d definitely say it is closer to 50% abv.
