Cu Bocan Signature
A soft and accessible as befitting a peated Tomatin. A touch woody in places from the Virgin Oak casks perhaps but well constructed with an array of flavours complimenting this soft Highland Malt with a smoky edge. 83/100
Highland
Fettercairn 16 Years Old 2nd Release 2021
Classic combination of citrus and ginger with spice and zest in harmony. 84/100
Fettercairn 12 Years Old
A pleasant single malt with plenty of fruity and grassy cereal influences and a touch of tropicality. 80/100
Glenmorangie Allta Review
The tenth, and so far final, release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Allta (2019). Its name translates to wild and is in reference to a unique strain of wild yeast Dr. Bill discovered on their Cadboll barley. After some intense work to cultivate the yeast (Saccharomyces Diaemath) they used it to ferment […]

Glenmorangie Spios Review
The ninth release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Spios (2018). Its name, in Scots Gaelic, means spice, which is perfect for a whisky aged completely in ex-Rye Whiskey barrels. I like when a whisky’s name just simply says what it is. We’re used to ex-Bourbon, and we know ex-rye get in the […]

Glenmorangie Artein Review
The third release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Artein (2012) whose inspiration for the whiskey was rock; stone if you want to sound fancy. Limestone water from their Tarlogie Spring, wine created from grapes grown in the stony Tuscan soil. Even the Hilton of Cadboll monument played an inspirational part. Like many […]

Glenmorangie Finealta Review
The second release in the Private Edition range was the Glenmorangie Finealta (2011). Which sounds like it should be the end, but it was just the beginning. Figuratively and literally. Finealta is Dr. Bill’s attempt to recreate a Glenmorangie recipe from 1903, which sounds like we’re reaching back into ancient history, but in 1903 Glenmo […]

Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX Review
The first Private Edition release was the Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX (2010). Like most of the core editions, it started life as the standard Glenmo 10. That ex-bourbon whisky was put into some ex-Pedro Ximenez casks from Jerez where it sat for 2 more years. One way to think of the Sonnalta is that’s essentially the […]

Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate 15 Years Review
Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate 15 Years is the standard ex-Bourbon Glenmo aged for 50% longer and made entirely from barley grown on Glenmorangie’s Cadboll Estate farm. So really, not exactly like the GO10 except for being an ex-Bourbon spirit. This particular release is batch 2 which was released in 2020 and only available in North America […]
