which soon veers off toward sultanas, old sweet wines (old Malmsey), dried lychees and longans. It’s absolutely beautiful—who kept the recipe? Mouth: very much in the vein of White Horse, let’s say. Dry smoke at first, followed by a medley of herbal teas and infusions, with a ...

We could do some Tormore Good idea! Tormore 10 yo 2010/2021 (57.1%, Watt Whisky, hogshead, 287 bottles) 'Rested in an ex-Islay cask', yet another new concept, and probably the personal dream of many an old whisky enthusiast. Colour: straw. Nose: the peat is rather moderato, but it...
But this Tormore is pretty beautiful once you accept the green tannins. Finish: long, a tad sharp, citric and grassy. Lovely oils in the aftertaste. Walnut oil? Comments: I would clearly buy a bottle of this, it’s just that you’d better pour it drop by drop. Like 2cl in a ...

And wool, which is more common in malt whisky, we agree. Mouth (neat): very good! Some kind of pastis aged in wood, with touches of sandalwood, cedar, liquorice wood and embrocations (warms your chest but that may just be all the ethanol, ha). With water: back to regular maltine...
Obviously a 36 ans d'âge from the 1984 vintage. Remember, in cognac vintages refer to the harvest, not to when it was distilled. Having said that, they cannot wait for more than a few months, so a 1984 ought to have been distilled either in 1984 or early in 1985. Colour: light ...
Nose: yes, it speaks more clearly, with apple and plum juices, a hint of ham, and dried fruits like longans and jujubes. The aromas remain, however, quite moderate. Mouth: nothing to fault, it’s good, with honey and orchard fruits, plums for example. Finish: medium and somewhat ...
Johnnie Walker 'Bourbon & Rye Finish' (40%, OB, Blenders' Batch No.2, +/-2021) They say there's more than 200 different whiskies inside, and that the end result was finished for 6 months in rye whisky. What they wouldn't tell is whether it was pure rye, or if it was what the...
