Another sample, the last time I had this was St Games Gate pub in Banff so this one gets half a star for great memories. This was better than I remembered. It’s a more rubbery smoke than Islay but well balanced and quite nice. I wouldn’t buy it because I would categorize it with Laphroaig 10 and Laphroaig 10 is about the best value to quality ratio you will find.

Shelter Point French Oak Double Barreled Single Malt
Canadian — British Columbia, Canada
Reviewed April 30, 2020Received a sample and I really liked it. Sweet, spice, apricot. Nice balance and good abv selection, no water required. Recommended, I expect more age would move this to a 4 star. -
Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker
Blended Malt — Scotland
Reviewed April 25, 2020 (edited December 31, 2020)Waxy and a bit of maltiness, everything you expect from a Johnnie Walker. Easy drinking and nice, nothing challenging or overly interesting though. -
I received a sample and was not expecting much as I don’t really like the regular Bowmore 10. Hits the palette hot and doesn’t feel like cask strength is the right point. Lots of alcohol and sparky on the tongue. This one really needs water. The same night I had Lot 40 Cask Strength at 57% and it was excellent as bottled. This Bowmore needs water. With water you get some fruit and the lightest hint of peat. Much better with water. Nice to try but I wouldn’t buy.
