Tastes

A blend of 6, 8 and 12 year old whiskeys. This can be called whiskey: oak, leather, old furniture, nutmeg and dark berries.This can also be called bourbon: light notes of vanilla, banana, toffee in the background. Well balanced. Great whiskey.

This whisky always reminds me of my dentist. Nose: iodine, peat and fruit Palate: peaty, fresh, sweet and citrus notes Much better, lighter and sweeter now than 20 years ago.

Distilled at The Shed Distillery. Malted and unmalted barley and Irish Barra oats were used in the order. Aged in Sherry Oloroso and Kentucky Bourbon barrels. Aroma: soft grainy, apple, pear and malt. Taste: Fresh lemon and apple open up the game. It mixes with soft malt, honey and oatmeal. Goes to the top 3 of Irish whiskeys. Fresh, fruity and smooth. This needs to be enjoyed more.

Redbreast 12 Single Pot Still, made using malted and unmalted barley. Triple distilled. Matured in Bourbon and Oloroso sherry barrels. Aroma: malt, toffee, marzipan, dark berries Taste: plum, toffee, oven apple, berries, malt. This is a bottled candy !! Great whiskey!! The only downside comes from the low ABV.

Young, brave and angry. Peated one. The bite is fresh and clean. No bitterness or harsh finish. Short smoky finish. Young can be good too.

What is this? Plain Arran malt whisky finished in Sauternes wine barrels. Sauternes is a French white and sweet dessert wine. Where do dry oak, hard tannins, spiciness, and burning alcohol at the finish come from? A small splash of water helps, but I would rather enjoy my whisky than drink tap water. 5.5.2021 note: let it sit for a few minutes, add little water and it's not so harsh and burning. Spicy and balanced. 4 stars.

Gentlemen Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso have done a good job with this Christmas surprise. Sherries, raisins, dates, toffee and dark berries. Christmas cake in a bottle. This is my favourite companion for Christmas. I recommend.

Nose: long sherry, honey and marzipan. Palate: It's Christmas now !! Christmas cake, honey, sherries, cinnamon, cloves, oak. You may enjoy this with or without some water. Fantastic whisky !!

Nose: honey, sherry, barley and oak. Taste: sherry, honey, barley, and Christmas cake. Tasty sherried whisky of the Speyside. Nicely smooth and sweet everyday dram. Sherry and barley in a bottle.
