Old Pulteney Coastal Series: Pineau des Charentes
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed July 6, 2023 (edited August 23, 2023)Nose: Sweet dried green fruits like sultanas. Some subtle saltiness. Palate: Slightly thick. Light stone fruits with some additional caramelly sweetness. A wave of peppery spice follows but it's balanced against the sweetness. Finish: Drying with a flavour of a salt water dampened oak stave. -
Nose: Sweet apricot jam and honey with a dark brown sugar note. Palate: Creamy mouthfeel. Quite malt forward. Some very gentle baking spice. Finish: The spices subside and leave a caramelly nut brittle with some stone fruit drizzle. Woody notes persist long into the aftertaste. Notes: This one is mainly about the finish.

Lindores Abbey The Exclusive Cask 2018/0386
Single Malt — Lowlands, Scotland
Reviewed June 2, 2023 (edited August 8, 2023)Nose: Incredible aroma of apple cider or calvados, vanilla, conference pear and subtle baking spices. Palate: Nice full, creamy mouthfeel. Lightly stewed apples with sweet cinnamon and brown sugar. Some vanilla cream adds to the ensemble. Finish: Packs a bit of heat at first but it dampens down after the first sip. Gentle oak spice that melts away leaving a beautiful finish of apple crumble and custard. The bourbon influence on this is very prominent and delicious. It carries the typical bourbon notes but without the heavy oak. I was worried about the ABV at first but it's surprisingly light. It's easily the best whisky I've had to date.
