Glen Ord 1990 / 18 Year Old - Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

70cl / 52.8% / Speciality Drinks Ltd – A very sweet honeycomb nose on this Ord, which turns more spicy and tweedy on the palate as the wood influence asserts itself before an appley finish. Becomes waxy with water..

Ichiro's Malt Hanyu 23 Year Old Cask Strength - Japanese Single Malt Whisky

75cl / 58% / Number One Drinks – Probably the oldest Hanyu yet to reach these shores, this 23 year old has been bottled at a whopping 58% abv, but remains quite approachable even at full strength. An evident sherry presence on the palate, without being domineering, and some delicious tropical fruits on the finish..

Caol Ila 1979 / 30 Year Old / Old Malt Cask #5731 - Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky

Caol Ila 1979 / 30 Year Old / Old Malt Cask #5731 - Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky

70cl / 50% / Douglas Laing – A silky texture, but this Caol Ila 1979 is no softy – a burst of assertive phenols on the palate fades slowly as the wood assumes control, smoothing out some of the rougher edges. Surprisingly elegant for a Caol Ila and, as always, it’s as clean as a whistle. Recommended..
