Deanston 12 years old 2007 Calvados Cask Finish
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland
Reviewed April 21, 2023Nose: Stewed apples, floral, light honey notes, fresh cut green apples on the high notes. Palate: Loads of cooked apple and brown sugar. Finish: An instant developing spice heat. The apples roam around as an aftertaste and just wont let go. Notes: Drinks much lighter than its ABV. -
Nose: Diluted antiseptic, sweet smoke, pear skin, stewed apple. Retro gives off some briny qualities. Palate: Rich and slightly thick mouthfeel. Some oak wood spice. A touch of cashew. Finish: Good length with flavours of pork sausage and sweet BBQ smoke, dried fruits like sultanas. Drinks like a lower ABV whiskey but in a good way. The peat and sherry are quite nicely balanced. It won't excite those looking for a peat or sherry bomb but it ticks the box for anyone that enjoys those flavours.

Mannochmore 2007 14 Year (Mossburn) (Drinks by the Dram)
Single Malt — Scotland
Reviewed April 13, 2023Nose: Instant hit of honey on toast with some golden raisin. On the retro I get waxy citrus peel. Palate: Nice thick mouthfeel. Loads of spice. Some lighter honey notes that offset the spice. Finish: Dried, sweet apricot and peach. Subtle nuttiness like the sensation you get when someone just opened a bag of salted peanuts in your vicinity. -
Glen Scotia 12 Year (2022 Seasonal Release)
Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland
Reviewed April 6, 2023Nose: Dry sherry, raisins, orange zest, nutty. Some milk chocolate on the retro. Palate: Oak, sultanas, an increasing intensity of spice. Underneath there's a salted caramel. Finish: Extremely dry initially. Spicy with an apple pie and vanilla custard. -
Nose: Aromas of stone fruit, sweet sultanas, red grape, and a hint of tobacco smoke. Palate: Creamy texture. Sweet berry fruit, some baking spices. Subtly woody. Finish: Plummy, jammy fruit. Some barrel spice peaks and falls. A sweet but dry finish. Notes: I've a soft spot for port finished whiskies and this is no exception. I'm enjoying the sweetness and red fruit this offers.

Three Ships 12 Year (James Sedgwick)
Single Malt — Western Cape, South Africa
Reviewed April 4, 2023Nose: Sweet aromatic smoke, white pepper, honey. Caramel dipped pear on the retro. Palate: Some peppery spice, cereal dusted with light brown sugar. Finish: Milk chocolate, second hand lighted toasted oak, light, sweet BBQ smoke on the aftertaste. -
Nose: Intense aroma of sherry cask and raisins. Palate: Lighter than I expected on the body. An intense firey hit of vanilla and sherry that's quite overpowering. Finish: Sherry dominates the palate and the finish to the point that it's a bit too much for me but I understand why people like it. Notes: Water doesn't really do much to quiten down the beast.Café ZILT
