Probably the best whisky I've ever tasted. My best mate was designing the bottles and labels for Matthew Gloag and this whisky at the time and gave me a bottle of each of the Gran Reserva expressions [1980-1982 if memory serves] as he wasn't much of a whisky drinker himself. Kinda wished I'd kept them as I'd be a rich man now, but life is for living and these added a lot of pleasure at the time. The Private Eye Edition was good too!5000.0 GBP per Bottle

This is the Ardbeg to die for, apart from the impossible to find and ridiculously expensive even if you can, expressions like Kelpie, Serendipity and Airigh Nam Beist. I've been an Ardbeg fan since first visiting Islay in 1989, and it's great to see how its reputation has grown since those dark days. Pepper, smoke, seaweed, bacon fat. Rocks at this strength, make no mistake - but don't even think about adding water. Next to the 1980-82 Macallan Gran Reserva my favourite whisky expression ever.12000.0 JPY per Bottle

Tamnavulin Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Single Malt — River Livet , Scotland
Reviewed November 20, 2023Was expecting more than I got. Some nice fruit notes on the nose and palate, but a bitterness in the finish I didn't care for. Batch 0308 - it sez on the label!3300.0 JPY per Bottle -
Cutty Sark is a regular due to its versatility and VFM - ¥1,100 here in Japan, about $8 a bottle. Makes a great Highball with some sparkling water with lemon. Drunk neat there's a nice cereal note, a hint of vanilla and a touch of smoke. My American friend (of a certain age) swears by his Cutty & soda, and it's easy to see why. Hits the spot every time.1100.0 JPY per Bottle

Wasn't what I was expecting at all. Almost liqueur-like; the honeycomb on the nose and palate is pretty dominant. Indiana suggests MGP as the source. And 'American whiskey' is a very broad category and includes things like Seven Crowns which is 75% neutral grain spirit (I actually quite like it) so goodness knows what's in this. Bourbon this ain't. Like the Motörhead vodka though, worth it for the bottle alone.
