Expert Reviews

Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points, Kara Newman, March 1, 2020: Vanilla and caramel aromas invite. The palate echoes those flavors up front, evolving into lemon and grapefruit peel midpalate. The finish is drying and brisk, with a flurry of baking spice plus a mild herbaceous note. Versatile workhorse for cocktails, including its namesake.

Whisky Advocate, 91 Points: Fresh orange, raspberry, caramel candy corn, cotton candy, and lemon aromas, with a hint of fresh banana. On the palate, smooth, spiced, and fruity, with notes of candied watermelon, cherry hard candy, and overall candied sweetness, with a dash of pepper spice. The finish is smooth, with muted sweetness and fruit notes of raspberry sorbet—spicy but well-textured and of medium length, with a great veneer of softness and emerging spice.

Serving Suggestions

Try it in its namesake Sazerac cocktail, or use its vanilla, citrus and spice character in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. For a simpler serve, enjoy over ice or with a little water to suit your taste.

Redbreast 12 Year Old — Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 750ml

Redbreast is the definitive expression of Irish single pot still whiskey — a style unique to Ireland, made from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley and triple distilled in copper pot stills. Produced at the Midleton Distillery in County Cork and matured for a minimum of 12 years in a combination of ex-Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry casks, Redbreast 12 is the whiskey that put Irish pot still whiskey back on the world map. It is consistently rated among the finest Irish whiskeys ever made, and for good reason: there is simply nothing else quite like it.

The nose is complex and inviting: a rich interplay of spice, dried fruit, toasted wood, and a generous sherry influence that speaks to the quality of the cask selection. On the palate, it is full-flavored and silky smooth — a harmonious balance of spicy, fruity, sherry, and toasted notes that unfold with remarkable depth and elegance. The finish is satisfyingly long, with the complex flavors lingering on the palate long after the last sip. This is a whiskey to savor slowly, neat or with a single drop of water to open it up.

The benchmark for Irish single pot still whiskey — Redbreast 12 is a masterclass in complexity, balance, and the art of the long finish.

Each time you sip J&B Rare, 42 different whiskies pass you lips. They are carefully blended together to create a subtle, smpoth and complex flavour. The delicate balance is what gives J&B Rare its distinctive character. If we took even one whisky away you would taste the difference. 

The heart of J&B Rare is formed by Speyside Malt Whiskies. They provide the fruity,fresh quality you can taste, and give J&B its light colour. Speyside is recognised as the superior area in Scotland for making malts. 

Kilchoman was founded in 2005 on the remote western shore of Islay — the first farm distillery built on the island in over 124 years. Anthony Wills set out to make whisky the old-fashioned way: growing barley on site, floor malting a portion of the production, and distilling in small batches with an obsessive focus on quality over volume. In just two decades, Kilchoman has become one of the most exciting names in Scotch, earning a devoted following among those who believe Islay deserves more than one or two great distilleries.

Machir Bay is their flagship — named after the two kilometres of wild, wind-swept beach on Islay’s west coast where turbulent Atlantic seas meet stunningly beautiful sunsets. A vatting of bourbon and sherry cask maturations, it is designed to showcase the full Kilchoman character: peated, coastal, and layered. The nose opens with lemon zest, vanilla, and a distinct maritime influence, giving way to floral intensity, juicy peach, and pear. The palate is generous — tropical fruit, dried sultanas, warming smoke, honey, malt, and butterscotch. The finish is long and complex, with sherry-soaked fruit, cracked black pepper, sea salt, and waves of citrus sweetness underpinned by maritime peat smoke.

“The dramatic coastal landscape of Machir Bay is reflected in the rugged complexity of this award-winning single malt, the flagship of the Kilchoman range.” — Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder

Second Maturation in port barrels

Our malt mill, glistening copper mash tun and traditional wooden washbacks form part of a vigorous but carefully attended process. Our elegant copper pot stills distil and re-distil the richest spirit which is then filled into the finest casks and left patiently maturing in our warehouses. Nearly 70% of the flavour in whisky is derived from the cask it has been matured in. Wood’s important, which is why we adopt a ‘no compromise’ approach when choosing our world renowned sherry casks to enrich our whisky. Over the years of extended maturation, these carefully seasoned casks help create the unique richly sherried style that The GlenDronach is famous for.

Tis was just the season for fruit cake, boxes of citrus deliveries, and gift boxes filled with dried fruits and chocolates. To keep the flavor theme going, you can chase down a bottle of The GlenDronach Port Wood. The rich fruity notes and well-timed heat of this single malt delivers the Highland experience, taking you on a journey across the ocean, away from the land of whiskey, to the land of whisky. The Whiskey Wash

It was initially “matured in the distillery’s signature Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, followed by a second maturation in some of the finest port pipes from the majestic Douro Valley in Portugal.” Non age statement.

The Whiskey Advocate 91 Points | Rademon Estate Distillery’s superb core whiskey has a nose of rye crackers, fresh oak, vanilla sponge, honey, bread crust, sultana, and golden syrup. It’s light to medium-bodied, with honey, cinnamon, and a big hit of rye spice, sweetening with vanilla, spun sugar, and golden syrup, setting up a push and pull between the rye and the sweet notes, before a finish of toffee, cinnamon, cinder toffee, and walnuts in syrup.

Greg | GreatDrams.com — Very delicate, more so than expected. A hint of grain but not too much, there's a sweetness there but not sickly, more subdued, like a warming dessert. A really good blended whisky for the price and one that a lot of people should reconsider.

Producer Description 

Orchard fruit notes are common to both Calvados and Scotch malt whisky. Many Calvados producers double-distil in pot stills, just like their Scottish cousins. Maturation in French oak is another aspect of their shared DNA.

These two spirits share richness, sweetness and complexity; the Calvados lends an intensity and length to the finish which enhances the character of the Scotch whiskies.

Serve over ice, mix with amari and vermouth into a unique twist on a boulevardier, or pair with a deliciously sweet tarte tatin. 

We think you’ll agree that these two spirits really do have an affinity for one another.

Produce Description 

Duncan Taylor was originally based out of Glasgow where they were merchants and brokers of Scotch whisky casks. They have been laying down casks from distilleries all over Scotland for decades and now have one of the largest privately-held collections of rare and vintage Scotch Whisky.

Islay is a great place to make whisky if you were living in the 1800s. Remote but great water and barley. In 1815 Laphroaig was founded by brothers Alexander and Donald Johnston. Donald tragically died in 1847 after falling into a vat of hot pot ale at the distillery. It became famous in the early 1900s as it became released as a single malt. It has always been known to produce a heavily peated style.

TASTE
It is extremely rare to find Laphroaig in independent bottlers and what a great whisky this must be if from Duncan Taylor! 

Nikka Whisky Days 80 Proof 750ml

Nikka Whisky was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru — the father of Japanese whisky, who studied distillation in Scotland and brought that knowledge home to build one of Japan’s two great whisky empires. Today, Nikka operates two legendary distilleries: Yoichi on Hokkaido’s rugged northern coast, and Miyagikyo in the lush mountain valley of Sendai — each producing whiskies of distinctly different character that the master blenders artfully combine. Nikka Days was created with a clear mission: whisky for every day, approachable and joyful without sacrificing the craft that defines Nikka.

The result is a beautifully balanced blend of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts — silky, floral, and fruit-forward, with a delicate complexity that rewards sipping neat or shines in a Japanese highball. The round bottle and vibrant label are no accident: this is a whisky designed to brighten your day, whatever the occasion.

"A delicate balance is achieved by the skillful blending of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts. With impressive floral aromas, this expression offers an extremely silky mouthfeel and fruity flavors that rise and expand, leaving behind a delightful aftertaste." — Nikka Whisky
