Nikka Yoichi, 10 Year Old Malt

Nikka Yoichi, 10 Year Old Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: Blended
Age: 10 Year Old   Strength: 
Summary: Of Nikka’s two malt whisky tilleries, Yoichi produces rich, peaty and masculine malts. Yoichi 10 Years Old gets its distinct aroma and body from direct heating distillation, in which the pot stills are heated with finely powdered natural coal – the traditional method that is rarely used today, not even in Scotland.

Brora, 32 Year Old

Brora, 32 Year Old
Country: Scotland   Region: Highland
Age: 32 Year Old   Strength: 
Summary: Magnificent, and excellent at cask strength: the coastal, smoky, savoury Brora character is here sweetly softened in a malt that’s courteous yet informal; it has the depth and complexity of age yet also a spicy, lively twinkle, like a favourite uncle.

Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 12 Year Old   Strength: 
Vintage: 1999   Bottler: 
Summary: Deceptively complex, at first hiding all that characteristic CaolIla freshness and vigour under a smooth exterior. Masses of oaky, cocoa character and fruit tartness soon show that peat smoke isn’t everything!

Knockando, 12 Year Old Single Malt
Country: Scotland   Region: Speyside

Vintage: 1985   Bottler: 
Summary: A very unusual, rich and deep-flavoured expression of Knockando that is extremely complex and intriguing. Superbly balanced: drying yet with residual malty sweetness: a broad array of magnificent ex-sherry cask notes make an opulent apéritif, appetising with hard, sharp cheeses.

Lagavulin, 12 Year Old

Lagavulin, 12 Year Old
Country: Scotland   Region: Islay
Age: 12 Year Old   Strength: 
Summary: DESCRIPTION: Extremely well constructed and highly complex: full of wood smoke, peppery and spicy, this 12 year old shares much with its immediate predecessors – not least the capacity to instantly defibrillate the taste buds: the texture and taste, both straight and dilute, are splendid.

Age: 20 Year Old   Strength: 
Vintage: 1990   Bottler:
