Port Askaig 100° Proof
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed December 1, 2021 (edited May 15, 2022)Nose is sweet to begin leading it or salty brine and leather Palate is peppery and Smokey. Hint of vanilla. Quite light and not cloying. Finish is powerful with peat and smoke. Drying. Suggest a young caol ila spirit? -
Nose is smoke and peat but definite caramel sweetness. Palate is more powerful smoke and is cloying but the linger aftertaste is salty caramel but it’s also quite numbing as this is a strong dram The finish is long and lingering and that’s where the Sherry casks come In with a lasting richness of raisins in behind continued islay loveliness. One of my first islays and remains a favourite

Tomatin 2007 Discovery (Gordon & MacPhail)
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed September 9, 2021Nose is sweet over ripe bananas Palate is continued banana, vanilla and light oak The finish is short with light wood. Not a complicated dram but hits the spot. The discovery range at GM is of a high standard at a decent price point. -
Cardhu Gold Reserve (Game of Thrones-House Targaryen)
Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed September 9, 2021Sweet and light spirit, pretty similar to the NAS Cardhu you will pick up in Tesco cheap. Ignore the nice packaging and marketing and spend Your money on something better or if light sweet uninteresting whisky is your thing then why not and like i say at least the bottle looks cool on the shelf! 👍 -
