Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed January 22, 2015 (edited April 24, 2018)Soft and creamy, floral and fruity, good example of a speysider and easy-drinker. 3,9/5 -
Talisker 10 Year
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed December 6, 2014 (edited February 2, 2015)Nose: peaty-peppery-sweet strike. Additional vanilla, pear, blackcurrant. Iodine, smoked salmon. Taste: full and fiery, bittersweet arrival, peppery development, ham, robust cuban cigar smoke. Finish: long for a 10YO, pepper and peat again, warm and bitter. Overall: an excellent malt. Perfect for many occasions. 91/100 -

Cardhu 12 Year
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed September 19, 2014 (edited October 21, 2014)A nice but quite plain one. Bread, sawdust, fallen leaves and some speysider flowerness in the nose. Tastewise same bread and oak with some syrup and some sweet fruits. Warm, but disappointing short finish. All in all, taste on occasion, but once. 83/100 -
Glenmorangie The Original 10 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed September 19, 2014 (edited October 21, 2014)Sweet on the nose, with fruits and flowers and vanilla at first turning into total bakery and patisserie later. Sweet and light on taste, almond, coconut, Ferrero Rafaello, syrup, altogether wrapped in a bourbon cask -)). Finish not long but surprisingly nice for a ten yo. Overall, a really good one for a relatively young whisky. 88/100
