Blanton's Original Private Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey (700ml) - 2013 Bottling

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 46.5%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Blanton’s has its place in history as being the first Single Barrel Bourbon, setting the standard for others to follow by creating a new 'super-premium' bourbon category. Quite simply, the product is aged in one barrel, and unlike most others, never blended with other bourbon. The principle behind the concept is that each barrel of Bourbon varies, and the whiskey in it acquires a slightly different flavour profile. Furthermore, where barrels are stored in a warehouse, the immediate environment can make a considerable impact on how the whiskey matures. The master distiller periodically samples the whiskey in barrels, especially those barrels in the best part of the warehouse. (Usually this is the very center of the warehouse, called 'the heart' of the warehouse. ) Those barrels that are discovered to contain unusually fine whiskey are recorded and tracked with care. There is no margin for error because there is no way to compensate for flavour by mixing the spirit with any other liquid at a later period. At considerable expense to the distillery, the selected barrels are allowed to mature in years far beyond the average age of Bourbon. When they are at their peak of perfection, they are taken from the warehouse -- one by one -- and bottled one barrel at a time and then packaged by hand. In this way the cream of the crop, so to speak, becomes single barrel Bourbon. The intended result is a new classic every time: unfiltered, uncut - Bourbon of a most individual expression. As a consequence, each bottling can vary in style and flavour.

Blanton's first Single Barrel release was in 1984. It was named after Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, who in 1901 at the age of twenty became superintendent of the distillery. It was reportedly a labor of love for Blanton who led the enterprise as the only working distillery in Kentucky during Prohibition (1920 to 1933) and had the distillery back and running within 24 hours of the floodwaters subsiding following the great flood of 1937. Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, Member of the Master Distiller's Hall of Fame, oversaw the introduction of single barrel bourbons. Current Master Distiller, Gary Gayheart, carries on the tradition. All Blanton's Bourbons are superbly packaged in a jewel-like decanter. The tiny horse and jockey on the bottle stoppers have become a trademark of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon. Blanton's have produced a collectors edition set of eight different stoppers, with horse and jockey in different strides and poses. Each stopper is marked with a single letter that spells Blanton’s when the set has been completed.

Other reviews... Copper hue. Sweet vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit, aromas are appealing. Supple on the palate with rich toffee, allspice, and pepper notes. Has a great balance between dryness and fruity sweetness that tapers to a smooth finish.

Blanton's The Original Single Barrel #336 Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) - 2014 Bottling

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 46.5%

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Blanton’s made industry headlines when Master Distiller, Elmer T. Lee introduced the brand in the 1980s as the very first commercially available single-barrel Bourbon. It was named after the former President, Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, who in 1901 became the Distillery Superintendent at just twenty years of age (he was also the President of the George T. Stagg until 1952 - now known as Buffalo Trace Distillery). A labour of love saw the enterprise become the only working producer in Kentucky during Prohibition (1920 to 1933). Later, following the great flood of 1937, Blanton had the operation back and running within 24 hours of the waters subsiding. Legend has it that the Colonel had a knack for selecting “honey barrels”, bottling them as gifts for ambassadors, dignitaries, family and friends. All of these barrels came from the middle section of Warehouse H, the only single story, metal-sided warehouse at the distillery, which is said to cause the aging spirit to interact with the oak at a steadier rate, meaning Blanton’s can be bottled at just 6 to 8 years of age and taste mature. That said, the age of Blanton's varies from bottle to bottle depending on the Master Distiller's discretion, which is why they've always been NAS releases.

Blanton’s is further distinguished by its use of a higher percentage of corn than most other Bourbons, although the team at Buffalo Trace continue to keep the mash bill a guarded secret. Part of its popularity must be down to the allure of the packaging: The unmistakable multi-faceted squat decanters topped by a tiny horse and jockey have become a trademark and simply make the brand feel special. Up until just a few years ago, it was relatively easy to buy a bottle of Blanton’s. Nowadays it's on the list of hardest-to-find Bourbons in America. Imports to Australia remain sporadic, so if you're keen, grab it whenever you can find it at a reasonable price.

Other reviews... The aroma shows soft, toasty notes of cornbread and cinnamon sugar with a subtle, slightly savory crème brûlée sweetness and a touch of orange zest that adds a welcome brightness. The palate is oily and sweet with a classic brown sugar and vanilla bean profile that comes across with a light, almost toasted marshmallow note, with a little bit of barrel char adding some astringency. The heat is soft at first and builds gently, along with the sweetness and baking spice. It’s really the finish that seems to be the most lackluster part of this one, as those flavors tend to dissipate a bit too soon. Blanton’s remains an incredibly approachable bourbon that still holds its own among the many single barrel bourbons that have come out since its debut. [2021 batch tasted] - drinkhacker.com
...The original single barrel bourbon continues to defy odds with its ability to provide a consistent sip year after year and a flavor profile that defines approachable. Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is the age defying brand that continues to please consumers year after year with a product that could easily vary widely barrel to barrel, yet rarely does. Its consistency delivers a classic bourbon flavor profile that will please almost anyone. While it may not be the best single barrel available at any given moment, even among its own Blanton’s siblings, it is by far and large, one of the more approachable ones.

$323.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2024-2032)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Stelvin

Review Summary: Intensely aromatic, this a rich, highly seductive Syrah that powers through to a long plush yet refined finish.
The Detailed review: From the same winery as the 2021 Nicks Secret AC Blewitt Springs Syrah, this is from the esteemed Clarendon sub region of McLaren Vale which has the highest altitude vineyards in the district. First tasted around 18 months ago this has filled out beautifully and now at nearly 50% off delivers brilliant value.
Pure seduction in a glass.
Midnight black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Wafting through the nostrils are intense blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and dark chocolate aromas which are complimented by vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich, generously weighted and highly seductive, the palate features a plush textural feel with blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits rolling over a spicy vanillin cedar, subtle earthy mocha and peppered fennel back drop. Concentrated and powerful yet relatively refined in its feel, it boasts velvet smooth tannins and a long sumptuous finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%
Other Reviews…..
Combining power and refinement, it's beautifully lifted on the nose with dark fruit intensity, cured meat, cedar and cake spice aromas. The palate delivers terrific concentration and depth, splendidly framed by rich texture and layers of polished tannins. This is bold and sturdy, yet with finesse and balance, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2036.

Glenfarclas 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Gift Pack with 2 Glasses

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

Comes with two Glenfarclas branded Glencairn whisky glasses.
Famous as one of Speyside’s most masculine whiskies, Glenfarclas 15 is matured in 60% x-Sherry casks, with the remainder x-Bourbon, but with a difference. The latter barrels are shaved back in order to minimise their flavour input, putting the focus almost completely on the sherry. Bottled at 46%, the result is one of most full-bodied in the Glenfarclas stable. It's also one that tasters tend to notice the most batch variation in. Re-tasted in early 2022, the latest bottling takes some time to develop and blow off minor sulphur blemishes. Aromas pick up speed, echoed in attractively sherried flavours of raisin cake, fruit mince pie and digestif biscuits. The finish adds suggestions of pickled ginger and baking spices. Though not long, the flavours are surprisingly intense, well-proportioned and approachable without dilution. Give a freshly opened bottle thirty minutes to begin to show its best. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Some classic sherried Speysider that everyone should have tried. WF 84 last time I had, but that was in… 2006 (feeling shame here at WF Towers). Colour: gold. Nose: not that different from the 10, just cake-ier, more sherried, and rather more complex, with small herbs, a mossy side, and a large chocolate cake. Touches of yeasty porridge in the background. Fresh pumpernickel bread. Mouth: really very cake-y, malty, with raisins and some very lovely touches of spearmint. I’m also finding a delicate wood smoke, as well as the usual walnuts when we’re having a sherried malt such as this one. Goody good. Finish: rather long, and shall I dare mention Christmas cakes? And yet it’s not heavy. Comments: I just couldn’t tell you which one I like best, between the 10 and the 15. Both are top class in their categories. 46% Alc.Vol. 84 points - whiskyfun.com
...Energetic, heady, rich. Wakes up the palate and demands to be heard. The marshmallow note is uncanny and overpowers the rest of the dram at points, but overall this regains its footing, albeit with a somewhat abbreviated finish. All in, a step up from the 12 year old expression and solid value for money. - malt-review.com

Santanera Tahona 100% Agave Blanco Tequila (750ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$120. 00
Bottle
$1440.00 Dozen

ABV: 41%

Casa Santanera's founder, Pablo Lara has a family history in agave cultivation and distillation. Working against the commercial orientation of the mainstream Tequila industry, where the art of producing Tequila has been replaced by chemistry, his operation has become a byword for doing things right, rather than focusing on mass production. The attention to detail extends to producing packaging and labels from recycled Agave fibres, to creating single terroir certified organic Tequila.
The 'Tahona' blanco is named after the traditional stone mill used to produce Tequila. Agaves crushed by the wheel carved from a volcanic Tahona stone achieve a broader aromatic spectrum with a long permanence in the mouth with complexing crisp, flinty notes. 41% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Nose on this Blanco is something special, citrus notes are bright/fresh lemon-lime. Cooked agave and slight alcohol. Anise, agave, pepper, citrus and brine are all present at first sip. Finish is has long lingering pepper with brine and cooked agave on the pallet. Another amazing Blanco from NOM 1123. - tequilamatchmaker.com

Ararat Akhtamar 10 Year Old Brandy (500ml)

ARMENIA
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

"Akhtamar" is named after the legend of Princess Tamar and her love for a brave young man who conquered the harsh waters of Lake Van every night for her sake. Blending more than fifteen distillates results in a full, soft and silky brandy with flavours of sultanas, dried apricots, cinnamon and creamy vanilla. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... I've informally tried a few Armenian brandies last month, including this baby, and I must say I've been positively surprised. Colour: amber. Nose: it's probably a little rougher than the Fussigny but there's more happening than in the two previous ones. For example, there is a little smoke, some menthol and touches of putty that add dimension. As far as fruits are concerned, I rather find cassis and the expected raisins. Mouth: this baby has no cause to be jealous of the previous cognacs. It may have a little too much sugar again but it's not molassy and it's got this very pleasant jamminess that would involve blackcurrants again as well as dates and figs. Finish: not very long and maybe a little molassy now. Or a tad sluggish. Comments: it's less complex than the Fussigny and loses points because of that, but it's high quality brandy, no doubt about that. 76 points - whiskyfun.com

Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan.
Ripe scents, maybe some stewed fruit but immediately you get lavender and the garrigue type of mixed herb-spice bouquet and braised meat. It’s plummy and earthy, with black liquorice sweetness and warming spice lingering in the back. It’s plush juice with firm tannins and iron stone as the lasting impression. As a whole, it delivers the goods. Drink 2024-2028.

Matured in French oak barrels (20% new) for 10 months. Deep dark red core with black shaded edges and a red hue. Aromas of ripe dark cherry, strawberry and anise stream from the glass followed by some forest floor and spicy cedar notes. Rich, concentrated and juicy the palate is flooded with dark cherry and strawberry fruits which overlay a back drop of anise, earth and spicy cedar. Showing ample power and a fleshy texture, it has fine grained tannins and a long, spicy conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%
Other Reviews…..
The first Yarra Valley Pinot from Munda comes from a mix of red-brown clay, deep red volcanic soils, and granite. It is a wine with an alluring and well-composed nose: crunchy cranberries, polished red cherries, wild violets and some lovely vanilla, musk stick, a touch of cardamom, and cedar. The palate is juicy and, once again, well composed on its fruit and oak profile. More apparent is that the blood orange and earthy character, with elegant, granular tannins, giving a texture that reminds me of a chestnut. It is a well-made, balanced wine that is still in its prime. Drink 2024-2030.

Midnight black in colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue.

Good lord, this is good. Initially, the nose opens with graphite and steel shavings, but the fruit beneath it rises up and absorbs almost everything in its savoury, red embrace. This will show best another year from now, when everything has come together even more. Routinely an impressive wine. This vintage no exception. Drink by 2036.

2017 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots du Milieu Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$430. 00
Bottle
$5160.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A super-fresh if somewhat brooding nose is comprised by notes of essence of red pinot fruit, spice and lavender that really helped from being in a decanter for 30 minutes first. The succulent and reasonably concentrated medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality before concluding in a compact, powerful, complex and impressively persistent finish. This seems to have put on weight since I last reviewed it and I like the overall sense of harmony and balance. In sum, this is evolving nicely though I underscore that it still needs at least another 5 or so years. In a word, lovely. Try from 2027+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu confirms its strong showing from barrel, soaring from the glass with scents of ripe cherries, red berries, rose petals, orange rind and a deft touch of toasty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with melting tannins, succulent acids and a charming, supple profile that makes it hard to resist. Drink 2022-2040.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 10, 2020)
The 2017 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru was opened by Dominique Lafon just because he wanted to compare with the ensuing two vintages. Who was I to stop him? It is very different in style from those vintages: redder fruit, more transparency, charming, and it wears its heart on its sleeve. The palate is full of slightly peppery red berry fruit, saline and spicy with good grip and a long raspberry and wild strawberry finish. So unbelievably drinkable, even at this early stage you’ll finish bottle. Drink 2023-2040.
94 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Dominique thinks this may be THE vintage of the recent past, even at 55 hl/ha. This view may be conditioned by having just lived through making the third hot dry vintage in a row. The 2017 may be a fraction lighter in colour, but it is really haunting in its fruit, superbly balanced, medium density, a crisp tannin or two right at the back and now here comes the fruit again. I see what Dominique means – certainly if you want to drink in the medium-term future.

A markedly riper yet agreeably fresh and spicy nose somewhat grudgingly reveals its aromas of cool and pure black currant and dark cherry that are trimmed in pretty floral nuances. The middle weight flavors exhibit excellent energy and concentration while retaining a lovely sense of refinement on the powerful, focused and impressively long and slightly warm finish that is shaped by firm but fine tannins. This excellent effort should age gracefully for years. Drink through 2033+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Lafon's finest red this year is, as usual, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu, a wine that combines the finesse of the Clos des Chênes with the power and depth of the Champans. Exhibiting a complex bouquet of cherries, smoky wild berries, rich soil tones, violets and dark chocolate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with refined tannins and a sense of controlled power.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 10, 2020)
The 2018 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has the most intense bouquet of Dominique Lafon’s Volnays this year, intense black cherry scents intermingling with boysenberry and light cassis aromas, all delivered with the utmost detail. The palate offers black cherry and raspberry fruit infused with violets, very fine tannins and gentle grip. The silky-smooth finish fans out gloriously. Stunning. Drink 2023-2050.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Fine depth of colour. The nose from the start suggests that this is a complete wine. Plums as much as dark raspberries, with its clay based weight, a few tannins but in proportion to the fruit, just the right thread of acidity, a fabulous weighty but balanced Volnay Santenots.

Review Summary: Gently spritzy and airy in it’s feel this a Prosecco with no shortage of flavour.
The Detailed review: During the 1950’s, Remigio and Amedio Boron purchased a moderate size plot of land near the commune of Pramaggiore, which in the late 1960’s became known as the ‘Lison’ DOC – one of the more unique DOCs as it crosses over both the Veneto (to the west) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (to the southeast) and in turn, as a region, grows a wide gamut of grape varieties. In their early years the winery, like many in the region, produced their Lison Classico DOCG made from the Friulano grape, along with typical styles of sparkling wines. These days, 3rd generation family members, Sabrina, Andrea, and Roberto, combined new technology with their wine making experience and grow a careful selection of grapes that work in harmony with their land such as Lison Classico (Friulano), Refosco del Peduncolo and Prosecco. As a category, it will come as no surprise that Prosecco is the most widely consumed sparkling wine on the planet. Many styles these days are made in the ‘spumante’ style offering heavily carbonated bubbles, whereas Familia Boron’s Prosecco is made in the more traditional frizzante style. Made entirely from Glera, this semi-sparkling wine carries a finer bead (due to its lower atmospheric pressure).
A light frothy mousse dissipates to reveal a pale straw coloured base that has a delicate fine bead flowing through it. Aromas of pear and ripe apples mix with some lees and subtle lemon sherbet like notes. Delicious pear and apple fruits are delivered with ample concentration and carry an airy feel. Some sherbet and citrus characters linger underneath. Finishes dry with crisp acidity and a nicely formed conclusion that shows no shortage of flavour.

This is a stunning Riesling and amazing value. It might sound like the proverbial broken record but anyone claiming to like Riesling who is not buying, drinking and cellaring these is not serious. Rob Diletti sees this as his flagship. The fruit is all from the estate, from six different blocks, aged between two and four decades. Only the first press of 450 litres/tonne is used here. A bright lemon hue, it is leaner and more elegant than the Skywalk, as expected, with notes of florals, oystershells, citrus including fresh lime and grapefruit pith, and a line of saline acidity. Focus and length are present. This is easily a ten to twenty year proposition. A wonderful Riesling and one which is must-have value. Drink 2024-2044.

It’s nervy, energising and still finding its groove. It pulses, with vibrant acidity taking the lead over everything, although there’s still lemon and grapefruit flavours, spicy oak and superfine gossamer-like nutty lees. In another year, this will be more compelling. Drink by 2033.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The 2023 Chardonnay hails from a mild to cool (and dry) season in Margaret River, one that, by all accounts, will be a superb vintage for Chardonnay. On the nose here, the wine leads with lemon butter and white peach, nashi pear and green apple, with brine, cashew nuts and spring flowers. The acidity in the mouth is typically intense in young Xanadu Chardonnay—part of the legacy of the house style that eschews malolactic fermentation—and so it presents as I would expect it to, in a season already imbued with zesty natural acids. There is plenty of race and pace in this wine, but there is some creaminess, too. It will be better in a few years, I believe, although much of this cuvée will be purchased and consumed early. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2035.
92+ Points
Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
The nose is very focused and mineral-driven, with aromas of lemon peel, gun smoke, white peaches and sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and a generous texture, giving notes of grapefruit pith, salt brine and green papayas. A very minerally and steely structure that will soften nicely in the years to come. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Kilchoman Sanaig 2024 Edition Cask Strength Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.8%

Sanaig and Machir Bay are Kilchoman’s two core products, but only the latter has had the honour of an occasional cask strength release. Prospective samples of Sanaig were floated during a 2021 Feis Isle virtual tasting. No release date was ever suggested and the label had to wait until November 2024 to finally get its own natural-strength iteration. Looking at the colour, you might think they've mistakenly filled the bottle with Loch Gorm. That's down to a high proportion of x-Oloroso sherry casks (the remaining 30% are x-Bourbon). Essentially, this release uses the same recipe as the regular Sanaig, however, we can assume casks have been cherry-picked, then bottled uncut as opposed to the regular release strength of 46% ABV. It should be a blast for Islay fans, delivering an intense combination of rich peat smoke, cinnamon sweetness and stone fruits with waves of citrus, mixed spices and dark chocolate. No outturn is stated, but the Australian allocations are likely in the hundreds, rather than the thousands. 57.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... the entry is bold and spicy, with an explosive mix of black pepper, chilli, nutmeg and aniseed, anticipating a palate of dark pastry, chocolate, red fruit (sour cherries, plums, blackberries), sweet liquorice, blood orange juice, pink grapefruit and carob. Fleshy and iodised smoke that envelops the flavours like Linus’ blanket. The addition of water accentuates the marine aspect, bringing sulphurous notes to the surface. The long finish is coastal and full, with a tingle of spices that accompany red fruits and citrus, liquorice, chocolate, coffee and a vegetal, sulphurous vein. This is closer to a Loch Gorm on steroids than the original, which could be seen as either a distortion of the classic Sanaig or a liberation of its nature. A matter of opinion, mine appreciates the fullness of a slightly rambunctious but sincere dram. - Lamberto Lamarina, whiskyart.blog

Four Pillars Bloody Bandwagon Non Alcoholic Gin (700ml)

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$42. 99
Bottle
$515.88 Dozen

We all want or need some time off the drink every now and again. But time off the drink shouldn’t mean time off decent drinks altogether. Hence, Four Pillars have been quietly working away to bring the botanical flavours of their most popular and iconic gins to life…but in an alcohol-free spirit. This was no simple feat. In fact, it’s probably the single biggest challenge they’ve faced since they started making gin in 2013. Because this isn’t gin. Gin has to have alcohol in it. To make Bloody Bandwagon, they actually do use Shiraz grapes. But because they haven’t been fermented there’s no alcohol. So you’re getting that same Shiraz flavour and colour without the alcohol. Win, win. Use Bloody Bandwagon as you would your ‘regular’ Four Pillars Gin but maybe a bit more liberally, so you can allow the flavour of the non-alcoholic spirit to shine through.

$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"Allardice" has been dropped from the title of this snappy new presentation, however it would appear nothing else has changed. All matured in oloroso sherry casks (according to the website), Glendronach 18 is what many whisky connoisseurs would describe as a sherry bomb: Rich, dark and seductive with feature notes of Christmas cake, rum and allspice married together with aged oloroso, toasted walnut bread and chocolate orange. Put it on your short list of whiskies to try before you die. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... New look! Matured in Oloroso. They mention ‘Spanish oak casks’ on the label, but I’ve always thought that term could be a tad misleading (not just with Glendronach, mind). What exactly is ‘Spanish’ here, the oak, the casks, or both? That said, we were quite fond of the previous 18-year-old ‘Allardice’ (around 86 points), though it didn’t exactly have us swinging from the rafters – we used to prefer the 15-year-old. Colour: amber. Nose: there’s that Mars bar and millionaire’s shortbread note, followed by a hint of tar and damp earth. It’s got that dunnage warehouse feel, which I rather like. Then, as expected, the walnut wine shows up, with a touch of mustard and clove, before we nose into an old tin of black tea. Nothing to complain about. Mouth: perhaps a touch less precise, opening on peppered chocolate and espresso, moving into Catalan rancio, old walnuts, brown tobacco, and finally, oranges. The texture is a bit lighter than I anticipated, but it all works beautifully. Finish: medium length, with black tea, walnuts, and chocolate with a coffee edge. Comments: I’m not sure if it’s full-on Oloroso maturation or a three-year rerack or so, but I think it’s very well done. For my money, there’s absolutely no reason to think it’s any less good than the Allardice – and hey, I rather prefer the new look. 87 points - whiskyfun.com
[2024 tasting] Densely sherried, the nose is rich and laced with oxidized aromas evoking nutty, winey Pedro Ximenez sherry over oloroso. That’s but an illusion, of course, as this is aged fully in oloroso casks. The impact is impressive all the same: Bold, brooding, and rich, the nose evokes oily leather and furniture polish alongside spicier, racier notes of cinnamon red hots and some cayenne — surprising given its generally tame 46% abv. A not-insignificant level of sea spray salinity is clearly detectable, the Highlands at work. The palate quickly pours on sweeter elements: Molasses, brown butter, warm Coca-Cola, plenty of spice notes. Rich and enveloping on the tongue, the whisky evokes austerity and intrigue: Turkish rug shops, old London barrooms, Asian spice markets. Increasingly nutty as the palate moves toward the finish, the well-sherried experience approaches Madeira at times with its intensely wine-laden quality. Dark chocolate and caramel sweeten up the lengthy, enveloping finish, a healthy baking spice quality — more ginger-driven here — clinging to the back end alongside a sweetening raspberry element. Outstanding stuff. - drinkhacker.com
