Mid teen Laphroaig expressions are very promising. Both the old 15 year old and the bincentennary Laphroaig 16 year old were excellent. Re-reading that Laphroaig 16 review, it seems a bit naive given current prices in the market, but that’s an aside. We’re now offered a new Laphroaig...

(only the prices do not). Mouth: many flaws (too much oak, too much piney stuff, too much earthiness, too many spices, too much soapiness) but very bizarrely, the combination works, as if by magic. Message to self, just don't over-analyse these old ones. Finish: medium, awesomely...

No, we never factor in the prices, so many new whiskies would then crawl below the 50-line. Forgot to say, the Glenrothes bottle itself has always been one of my favourites, but that too doesn't count. SGP:651 - 88 points. Glenrothes 30 yo 1966/1997 (62.20%, The Bottlers, cask ...

Nose: no, whatever people say, and whichever the prices, the Loch Gorms are just there, sitting on the top. And once again, I find this one close to Lagavulin 16, even I may have to charter a jet and fly incognito to Islay next time; indeed there's not a sacrifice we'll not ...
There are some new official Longmorns, not always very well received because of their rather insane prices. We’ll try the cheapest expensive one (!) today, and then see what happens… Longmorn ‘Distiller’s Choice’ (40%, OB, 2017) I’m not sure a proper distiller would choose some ...
mint. Sure the oak's loud, but it's more than bearable. Black tea, then orange squash. Finish: shortish, on a blend of orange juice and ginger tonic. The aftertaste is a little drying, as expected. Comments: a crying shame that I do not take prices into account with my little ...
The big distillers are really pushing their single grains these days, perhaps because the blends don't sell too well. When you can't sell the whole, try to sell the parts for heavier prices, you never know, that may work. Because remember the magical word is 'single', so the average ...
