18 Best Bottles of Scotch

The list includes . . .

The Balvenie Single Barrel 12 YO Single Malt
"Nose opens with apple, almond, honey and spice followed by hints of spicy oak. Rich and full in the mellow mouth where brown sugar and citrus notes join the fruit and spice in layers of flavour. Beautiful balance, complex, delicate and light on the tongue. Long finish where coconut and cinnamon feature. A grand dram."

Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 YO
"Magnificent pungent nose with teasing spice, rich barley and smoky peat. Smooth and full in the mouth with super smooth flow and finest texture. Great weight and balance with sweet spice and light peppery nip towards the finish. Some complex malty notes develop but in gorgeous balance all the way. Deep, warming after glow. Pure luxury and breathtakingly beautiful."


Oban Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 YO

"Nose leads with rich spice and lots of sherry. Good floral notes in the background. Slips into the mouth with great ease and here it fills the taste buds with great array of stone fruit and some exotics. Spice comes into play by way of cinnamon and hint of ginger but vanilla is dominant. Decidedly mellow with some rich dried fruit characters. Long, well controlled finish. Very satisfying."
