  • Glengoyne Cask Strength Batch No. 006

    Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

    Reviewed May 7, 2019
    4.0
    4.0 out of 5 stars
    I enjoyed this. Don't let the cask strength scare you, the flavour still comes through nicely with minimal burn. Not super refined but enjoyable nonetheless. Fruity oak and pepper. I think the regular price was $80 CAD. if you can find the Glengoyne 15, it is the sophisticated older sibling to this rambunctious cask strength.

    I get that not everyone likes this but I find it hard not to have a place for this in my cabinet. It is a sweet mix of banana, burnt sugar, and vanilla. A desert indulgence, this really does make me think tropical island.

  • Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

    This is a great scotch... err Japanese whisky. My only complaint is that it tastes like a scotch and not a Japanese Whisky. It truly is a great dram, I was just surprised by the complex wood and smoke I tasted rather than the sweet cereal I was expecting from Japan. Maybe my inexperience is showing. This comes in a 500ml bottle with a regular price of $65 CAD.

    I was a little scared of the salty/briney reviews before trying this. But it turned out to be nicely balanced and smooth. Not going to blow your mind but a solid scotch. Regular price of $60 CAD.

    Pretty good for the price, I had to try it a few times for it to grow on me. Just the right amount of peat. Regular price was around $50 CAD.

    This one really didn't sit well with me. I tried it along with a tullibardine sovereign, highland magnus, glenlivet captains reserve. This one was the odd man out. I picked up a lot of heavy wood and smoke and was just rough all around. I will give it another shot but I fear this might be a mixer for me, or an orange peel at least. Regular price is $50 something CAD.

    What a great 15 year. The place I bought it from said this batch is now discontinued so you might not see the 15 for a while. Surprisingly it was on sale as well, regularly $90 CAD. Great from start to finish, oak and vanilla. The cask strength Glengoyne while obviously stronger and not as refined still has some of the nice characteristics of the 15.

    I really like this one. Smooth oak with just a touch of agave on the finish. An easy sipper. My comparrasion is the much more expensive Don Julio 1942. This is a little punchier with a bit more agave on the finish. The 1942 is the smoothest tequila I have tried, but the price point makes it a once in a while drink whereas the casamigos is great anytime. Regular price around $90 CAD, but goes on sale often.

    A nice combination of the blanco and anejo, this is the happy middle if you don't particularly like one of the others. The smooth oak is there and the fresh agave is still riding the finish. Regular price around $69 CAD.

    This is really the only blanco tequila I like to sip. Really clean and smooth. Regular price is around $65 CAD, I would rather mix something cheaper.
