The latest Cask strength offering from Glendronach which I found myself diluting to enjoy. Typical flavours but I found this one lacking in that 'wow' factor befitting its delivery at cask strength. If nothing else this represents value for money, full of sherry cask and some distillery character neither of which get lost when diluting with water. 84/100

A fantastic old Imperial with lots of dusty and woody sugars and oodles of fruit sweetness in this one. Befitting its age this becomes drying and leathery with some great tannins too. I suspect the rechar HH was a finish here as it would have been unusual to have been the initial cask but it has worked wonders on rejuvenating this spirit. 91/100

Evan Williams White Label

Presented at a higher ABV I enjoyed this much more than Evan Williams Black Label, there is plenty of peppery nature to it and a depth of sweetness to keep it interesting. 83/100

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

A very enjoyable and easy-drinking Bourbon expression sweetness somewhat tempered by toasty oak and the flavours it imbues. 84/100
