Whisky

Soft, clean and refreshing: lemon sherbet and apricots, with honeyed fruit and a touch of toffee and vanilla. Gentle and satisfying. A little weightier on the palate, with honey and malt, banana bread and subtle sweet spices. Clean and well balanced. The honeyed fruit fades softly, and the finish is whistle-clean.

Melted butter and caramelised dates. A hint of fragrant sandalwood develops into warming, oak-y spice.

The whisky is laid down in oak casks, to gently breathe the salt laden Orcadian air for a minimum of 12 years.

Light with plenty of sweetness. There are hints of dry spice and oily nuts, a touch of smoke. Palate Quite smooth and soft with notes of banana milkshake, a mixed nut note, a touch of caramel with creme anglaise. Sweet with a little cereal sweetness and toasty oak.

Floral, herbal hops, grapefruit citrus notes with subtle orchard fruits, complemented by wood shavings and a little nuttiness. Hops and light citrus with sweet herbal notes and delicate spicy tones. The lingering fresh fruit and hops give way to grains of barley and a signature smooth finish.

Delicate, smooth and full mouthfeel with distinctive orange zest notes and spicy, nutty, sweet vanilla undertones. Clean and pleasant, with sweet orange finish.

Jameson Black Barrel is aged for up to 6 years in double charred barrels, making it a full strength whiskey bursting with aromas of toffee and fudge, complemented by a spicy character and a rich vanilla finish.

Jameson Irish Whiskey is a blended Irish Whiskey. A light floral fragrance, peppered with spicy wood and sweet notes. The perfect balance of spicy, nutty and vanilla notes with hints of sweet sherry and exceptional smoothness.

A strong nose of chocolate cake, cream, rich espresso coffee, and dried fruits. A rich sweet taste, with a slight bitterness balancing it out. A pleasant warming feel at the end, a very enjoyable after dinner whisky. Solid whiskey; really well rounded and a solid keeper for the cabinet.

The nose is quite sweet with gentle notes of vanilla and cut hay, a touch of fresh corn fields and a little cereal sweetness, like the bluegrass fields of Kentucky. Palate has good body with notes of toasty oak and all the requisite notes of vanilla and creme anglaise, a little spice and pepper with an acetone note.

Winter spice and treacle, hints of white pepper and a little citrus. Rich and full with notes of wood smoke and dry spice, hints of barley and cereal with creamy toffee and a distinct herbal note. Quite fruity and long with a note of sultanas and mixed peels.

Fragrant with good body. Notes of oak, crisp spice, dried fruit, pastries. Berry fruits, aniseed, hints of cedar, a touch of spice and citrus. Supple and balanced. Good toffee and hints of very wistful smoke. Chocolate, hints of grass and a good hit of malt. Floral, oaky, good length, urged on by a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.

Fragrant wood smoke and peaches combine with honey and barley scent to make the depth on the nose pronounced. Viscous and slight spice combine with a light flavour of peach and vanilla pod. To finish the smoke makes another appearance and the lingering taste of stewed peach.

Knob Creek Single Barrel is a potent combination of caramel, honey, cinnamon, and allspice with enough vanilla, wood, and nuttiness to complement the sweetness. Minty rye and light sourdough bread are secondary. Even after mellowing its still quite hot, but its no longer overpoweringly distracting.

Palate Very thick and rich. A massive mouthful of malt and Sherry with good fruity sweetness, but also a wonderful sweetness. Big, powerful peat and oak. Finish Long, spicy finish, figs, dates, peat smoke, vanilla.

On the nose a rich peaty smoke with slight saline seaweed. To taste the initial smoky nature is in the forefront with a seaweed undertone, a surprising sweetness that lingers in the finish. To some extent this is the quintessential Islay malt.

Earthy rye kicks in right away, backed up by caramel, fig and flamed orange peel. Softly floral as it opens, leading into cardamom pod and peppery coriander. Crunchy brown sugar and fresh vanilla pod sweetness. Classic rye spiciness lingers.

Vanilla with hints of ginger, dried fruits, sherry sweetness and wood smoke. Deliciously smooth, with rich dried fruits and sherry, balanced with wood smoke and spice. Sweet toffee, dried fruits, lingering wood smoke and spice.

On the palate, this dram is a spicy bomb in the foreground, drying slowly the palate. It highlights black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then it evolves to the sweeter side, full of vanilla and raisins. It is lighter than expected, with orange sponge cake and baked apple notes. There are intense drying oak flavors, and light almond notes. The finish is long and dry, highlighting nutmeg and a fresh touch of ginger.

It's a smooth, sherry-forward, easy drinker of elegance and style. It won't overpower your palate, it's sweet and not too spicy, full bodied and rich- everything you look for in a special occasion whisky to be shared with friends and colleagues. It's a bit overpriced for my liking, but that's Macallan

Smelling this whisky is incredible! Citrus fruit and fudge come to the forefront with a delicate malt in the undertones. The palate is smooth, seriously smooth. Fudge and citrus balance well with malt that rolls around the mouth like syrup. A slightly spicy finish with layered honey and a touch of vanilla.

Has a very toasty aroma, with sweet spices and deep, thick caramel. Palate Creamy and very soft. Then it opens up, in fact it explodes with spiciness which concentrates on the tip of the tongue. Its on nutmeg, mulled wine spices, allspice, cinnamon.

There are lovely notes of spiced honey and mixed peels, a little malmsey, hazelnut and a touch of cut fruit with toasty oak providing a backbone. Palate Rich and full. There are notes of rye and spice, barley malt, a little nut oil with butterscotch and vanilla. Finish Quite sweet with butterscotch and dry oak spice.

Zesty orange meets mellow vanilla, honey and spiced oak. On the palate mellow vanilla with spicy hints. Super smooth finish.

On the nose this Whisky is spicy and peppery, but theres a richness behind it, with spicy oak and soft orange fruitiness, and soft vanilla notes from the bourbon cask. Grainy sweetness and candied orange peel, quite rich, accompanied by rich cinnamon and clove. Great balance, this really needs a little water to allow the flavours to unfurl.
