Glenkinchie 2006 Distillers Edition (2018)
A rather good showing from Glenkinchie, although I could do with something a little less dry and spicy. But good marks overall.
Glentauchers 1997 22 Years (Signatory Vintage for TWE)
Glentauchers is growing on me, and it seems others have the same idea. It might just be because I’m paying closer attention now, but it feels as if there are more casks being bottled these days. Understandably so, because these 1990s Glentauchers are proving to be rather excellent. Often fruity, with a spicy, sometimes chalky
Glenglassaugh Port Wood Finish (2017)
Glenglassaugh was reopened in 2008 after a long silent period, so all whisky is relatively young still, but hopefully we’ll see some sort of entry-level age statement whisky soon. For now, we’ll turn our attention to the Port Wood Finish.
Balcones Texas Single Malt (2019)
Boy, there’s a lot riding on this review. If I don’t like this Balcones Texas Single Malt the wrath of a certain someone will come down on me…
Glenturret 1989 29 Years (Signatory Vintage)
While I’ve yet to be properly convinced by their younger releases, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by older, independent whiskies from Glenturret.
Bunnahabhain 2009 7 Years (Gordon & MacPhail)
Sometimes I confound myself. Why exactly did I bough a sample of this uber young Bunnahabhain? It’s good though!
