Single Malt Highland Scotch Whisky

Oban 14

Rex: “So, I get the brine note. I get roses behind the salt water. That was more oily and sirupy then I was expecting. The notes that I’m getting, yeah, I’m a bit surprised that it’s as sweet and fruity as it’s right now.”

Daniel: “For us this is always the slightly orange, slightly salty, slightly brine, which is salt, with the… earth-ish.”

Brian: “Ooh, that’s good…”

Unpeated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie

Rex: “If it’s not smoke that gives you that smokey note, then what is it? If I have to force myself not to think about smoke, then I get heavy saltwater. You would swear it was smokey if it didn’t say you know; un-peated on the label and it does have a lot of complexity in there, you got the saltwater.”

Daniel: “There is no smoke in this whisky.

Brian: “I liked the fact that you mentioned heavy mineral water because it is almost as a freshwater pond.”

Lagavulin 16 YO Single Malt Whisky in Hinged Wooden Gift Box

£79.99
Add to basket
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Lagavulin 16

Daniel: “What I get from the smoke in the Lagavulin, instead of this dense, heavy oil of a smoke, to me, the Lagavulin is a lighter smoke, it sort of sparkles like carbonation and then there is a little bit of savoury note in there, but at the very end it lift off as mint. Does not taste mint but has a minty finish.”

Brian: “Not so much like grass but weeds. I picture weeds and daisies, just grabbing it and putting it up to my nose. There’s sort of an up-beat sunshine to it.”

Rex: “For me the very first note is a lightly smoked ham and every subsequent sip after that the ham is gone. And then you are left with the brine and the sweetness and I do get that minty flourish on the end. “

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Laphroaig 10

Daniel: “20 is sweeter on the nose (then the Quarter Cask. To me the 10 is sort of a one note thing. It’s not as dense as the Ardbeg, but it sort of does one thing bit the finish changes. So when you take a sip, it’s just one note, then after you swallowed all the smoke is gone and the lingering aftertaste shows all these things that where hidden.”

Brian: “Holy cow, that 10 is an intense burn. The 10 is much smooth (then the Quarter Cask).”

Brian: “It’s the atomic fireball of Laphroaig.”

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg Uigeadail

Brian: “Man, this seems ah.. candy. Smells sweet to me. Would it be wrong to say burden maple? It’s so sweet on the taste, it’s like candy”

Rex: “I get some red apple and… that saltiness that I get in almost basically every Islay. This is way sweeter on the taste then it should be. Yes, it’s sweeter then you would expect but the smokiness, peatiness is absolute there.”

Daniel: “There is something totally different in this, it’s maple. This is the sweatiness we’ve had today, but it’s also really smoky. Lagavolin feels like a gentleman. This one feels like the guy that takes you to the part of town you are nervous about.”
