Nose: Sweet, fresh, lemon, toffee Palate: Hotter than I’d expected from the nose. Apple sweetness, vanilla, spice and liquorice. Finish: Short, more spiciness a little sourness right at the end. Overall, this is a decent sipper. It’s not a particularly remarkable dram, but it is a pleasant summer whisky.4.25 GBP per ShotPlockton Inn

Nose: Sweet and fruity. Quite zingy with pear, apple and citrus. Palate: There’s a lot of the fruit that you expect from the nose, but with a more mellow mouthfeel (melon, mango) and a creamy, warming texture. Finish: The finish brings out the maltiness and a little hint of smoke. The medium/short finish is where you pick out some more layers - herb, banana, vegetal. Overall, this is a lovely easy to drink dram. It’s a bit of a session whisky and, were it not for an early start, I’d be happy to sit with a few more of these!4.25 GBP per ShotPlockton Inn

Distilled: November 2007 Bottled: June 2019 Casks: Refill hogsheads. Final 22 months finished in sherry butts. Nose: Sweet & honeyed. Oranges and dried fruit (sultanas) Palate: Very syrupy sweet. Dried fruit (apricots and sultanas). Finish: Pudding wine - Sauternes / Malaga Dulce. Orange peel and raisins. Overall, this is a sweet and fruity dram. There’s a slightly artificial taste again, - which also is present in the standard release(s) - and a waxy, oily mouthfeel. The combination of the sweetness and waxiness doesn’t work for my palate. Not one I’d be likely return to.109.98 GBP per Bottle

Nose: Fresh, summery, cut grass, zingy fruit. Palate: ‘Hot’ on the initial taste. Fruity, lemon and cereal notes. Very (very!) light peat backbite. Finish: Pepper and ginger as it dissipates, quickly dissolving into a bitter lemon aftertaste. This smells like a fab dram, but the taste is a little alcohol heavy up front and lacks layers and complexity. It’s not a bad whisky, but it is a little unrefined for my taste.4.75 GBP per ShotThe Plockton Hotel

Nose: Honey, vanilla, gentle oak Palate: Sweet, caramel and vanilla. A little citrus and pepper which makes the first sip a little ‘hot’, but it quickly mellows out. A little of the brine in there, too. Finish: Dry, citrus, toffee and a little saltiness right at the end. A decent sipper. It’s easy to drink and rather moreish.31.95 GBP per Bottle

Nose: Not much there. Zesty fruit and boiled sweets (sherbet lemons and soor plooms!) Palate: Salt and spice. Sugar and apples. Finish: The finish dried right out. Oak and spice, but still with plenty of the fruits (although moving into more darker dried fruit) I used to drink this quite regularly a few years ago. A friend and I would meet every Friday at a whisky bar near my old workplace and would put the world to rights. This was a dram I would often start with! Sadly, no longer part of the range, but there are still a few to sample in the wild! Lovely, and sadly missed.8.25 GBP per ShotHotel du Vin Glasgow

Reviewed September 23, 2020 (edited March 25, 2021)Nose: Peat, salt/ brine, sweet toffee Palate: Light peat, salt and pepper, slightly vegetal. Very sweet with a few wispy delicate dried fruity notes Finish: Short finish. Heavy on the sherry It’s not a bad dram. The nose is somewhat better than the palate, it promises to be a great sweet, peaty whisky but it seems to lose many of the interesting layers.6.5 GBP per ShotArdnamurchan Scottish Restaurant & Bar
