Mortlach

16 Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A gift from an old school friend at our 51st Reunion at Toowoomba Grammar School for those who graduated in 1970. He is a huge Single Malt fan and it was great to have the benefit of his experience and try this Mortlach 16 years old, for the first time. This is a Speyside single malt matured in only Sherry casks which impart a fruity note. Very mellow, balanced and warming on the palate. I normally prefer peaty Islay malts but this was a nice change - very high quality with full bodied flavours. Thanks John - I will buy another bottle next winter. — 3 years ago

Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale

Glad I only have one of these. Although the hop influence has a little kick to it more in the back, this one is much more bready and malty throughout. Brown malts with a little bit of sweetness in the middle. On a whole, this brewery produces a rather rock solid lineup of brews. — 7 years ago

Exclusive Malts Aged 20 Years Glenmorangie Highland Single Malt Whisky 1995

Fantastic stuff - was better than I remembered it being last year! Rich sherry tones without being overpowering. Is it really from Glenmorangie though? — 7 years ago

The label says “hops, hops and more hops” I say yes to the hops but with a smooth blending of malts. Crisp, clean, intense aroma with a well balanced long satisfying taste this award winning IPA is the brewmaster’s choice. I say it’s just damn good. I believe that it is available on the USA Pacific coast. 6.5 % alc./vol. 80 IBU Cheers 🍻🇨🇦 — 7 years ago

Archive 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The third of three 21-year-old single malts that we tasted at the December Old Line Scotch Club meeting. This was slightly tangy, smooth and complex. As good as it was, it was the least favorite of the three, by consensus, among the club members. #glenlivet #21 #whisky #singlemalt #oldlinescotchclub #tubbysdiner — 8 years ago
