Mortlach 12 Year "The Wee Witchie"
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed April 25, 2022 (edited October 7, 2022)Smells like an intense highland scotch. Flavor is a classic fruity sweetness with some wood spice and abv on the tail. Tail is shorter than I expected. -
Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 1
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed March 27, 2022 (edited September 27, 2022)Smells absolutely heavenly. Tons of honey sweetness. Beautiful barley honey hit on the tongue, fruity but deep and rich. Textbook scotch taste, well blended and balanced. Barrel comes in on the tail, spicy and powerful. Nothing weird or original, but a quintessential highland single barrel. Wonderful.Canon -
Four Roses Private Selection Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 27, 2022Oak and proof on the nose. Getting more alcohol than anything else. Classic single barrel four roses, major hit of caramel fire. Barrel spice, black pepper, tons of abv burn. I like high proof barrel strength whiskies but it's a bit much. Well done, but off balance. Blackwell Spirits selectionCanon -
Sweet and barley aroma. Very light spice as well. Powerful and rich on the tongue. Lots of fejir, green apple and maybe pear. Pineapple. Hint if sweet was from the sherry. The more I drink the more vanilla comes through. Excellent blend of powerful flavors, but a bit too fiery. Slightly unbalanced. Richness helps, still very good.Glengoyne Distillery

Mustiness and earth on the nose, rather than peat. Maybe something citrusy too, something sour. Flavor is much more oily and sweet, one of the less peaty ardbegs but deep and complex. The flavors are so well balanced i can't pick anything out really. Tail drops even lower, meaty and rich. Absolutely fantastic. Only gets better the more i drink. Islays are my favorite and I always rate them highly but this is easily in the top 5 whiskies I've ever tried. Wish I could give it a 6.Ardbeg Distillery Ltd

Aroma of peat and wood, but green wood. Sappy and pungent. Incredibly juicy, a bit less burn than the others I've tried. Let's the sweet flavors shine, there's that green wood mixed with some fruit. Some sort of berry or maybe pineapple. Spice comes in to carry the tail, these flavors blend perfectly. Mouthwatering.Ardbeg Distillery Ltd
