Ben Nevis 21 Year Old Batch 8 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed February 25, 2020This really coats your mouth, it’s oily and rich to start, it then gives a sharper citrus note and then moves into caramel and spice. It’s quite layered and complex. Not bad at all.12.15 GBP per Pour -
Cotswolds 3 Year Old - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Single Malt — England, England
Reviewed February 25, 2020Sweet and syrupy, with a back note of oak and spice. There’s some apple and grapefruit up front, but it melts away into quite a sour note. It tastes young with the initial hit of un-matured alcohol, but overall it’s pleasant and easy to drink. This might be a pretty decent dram with a few more years to mature.6.44 GBP per Pour -
If you like a sweet peaty whisky, this is a bit special. You smell the peat before you get a chance to taste the wonderful sherry and dark fruit of this one. It starts with a hit of peat, then a taste of sherry, and a charred sweet oak finish. Nice!6.8 GBP per PourArdnamurchan Scottish Restaurant & Bar

Springbank 15 Year
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed February 18, 2020 (edited April 13, 2022)Sweet, dried dark fruits and spices, but overwhelmed by a charred oak taste. Very full bodied and tannic. The aftertaste is a kind of sour ash that stays around for ages.6.3 GBP per Pour -
Kilkerran 12 Year
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed February 18, 2020 (edited October 10, 2020)Sweet and smoky at first taste. The aftertaste is lemon, citrus and salt, and a strange, but not unpleasant, grapefruit taste. It’s a smooth, oily dram and, overall, very nice. I can’t help thinking another few years to rest might make it even better.5.02 GBP per Pour -
Speyside No.3 8 Year Old Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed February 16, 2020A strange combination of waxy apple, cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s quite smooth for a young whisky, and has a long caramel and wood finish. It’s growing on me, but the waxy flavour lingers more than I’d like.
