Benromach
Origins Batch 2 Port Pipes 12 Years Old
ABV
50%
Comments:
A whisky which delivers more maturity than the age as stated. Quitesurprising, in the best way.
Overall score
8.6
Dry Fly
Wheat
ABV
40%
Comments:
Well made. Just needs time in cask to bulk up a little. Just hope they keepsome back for longer term aging.
Overall score
7.3
Early Times
354
ABV
40%
Comments:
After years of being a Kentucky whiskey, Early Times moves back into the bourbon world. Young, sound and light.
Overall score
7.8
Evan Williams
Single Barrel 2001
ABV
43.3%
Comments:
A beautiful bourbon, fully matured and showing an elegant balance.
Overall score
8.3
Frisky Whisky
25 Years Old
ABV
54%
Comments:
Balanced, complex. Highest recommendation.
Overall score
8.9
Greenore
18 Years Old
ABV
46%
Comments:
A very stylish grain which is showing grip and character rather than justgetting sweeter and flabbier with age.
Overall score
8.4
Penderyn
Single Bourbon Cask
ABV
61.5%
Comments:
The nose is really appealing but the palate is rough.
Overall score
7.6
The BenRiach
Solstice 15 Years Old
ABV
50%
Comments:
Unusual tawny colour indicating a port finish, which has certainly imparted sweetness to that peaty character. Water brings out dryness.
Overall score
8.2
The BenRiach
Horizons 12 Years Old
ABV
50%
Comments:
A clean spirit, drier and spicier than expected from the nose. A dash ofwater gives it a better balance.
Overall score
7.8
