Taran's Highland Whiskey
Glenfarclas
30 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
This just gets better as it opens but also liked it more in isolation. When you are tasting a lot of scotches this one starts to get lost. It’s gentle, subtle, smooth. You can’t I would argue flipping between 5 other strong profile drinks. — 3 years ago

Glenmorangie
Signet Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
I’ve been fortunate enough to have enjoyed many a pour of Signet since it was first released to the market. This bottle has, by far, the most expressive impression of chocolate I can ever recall. A rich and rather decadent version of Glenmorangie. — 5 months ago

This is a Scotch Malt Whiskey bottle. I think it hides the 51.5% well but make no mistake the finish is strong and long. All down the middle for me and none in the cheeks. Flavor is sweet, light smoke and hidden a bit by the alcohol. I don’t really buy the title but I think this brand often does things with oysters especially at the Whiskey of the World event if I am remembering correctly. Cask No. 42.56
Sipping whisky from a shell
Highland, Island
A subtle nose of cinnamon buns, Turkish delight, muscle rub and ‘a smouldering cigar in an artist’s studio’ (tobacco leaf and linseed oil). The palate had a waxy texture and flavours of dark cherries, waxed sweets (e.g. rhubarb rock), walnut oil, tobacco and raisins soaked in cognac. A drop of water shifted the nose towards sharp fruits (stewed rhubarb and lemon squeezed over fish cooked on a beach barbeque). The reduced palate had rum and raisin ice cream, starfruit and balsamic glaze. There was only the most delicate wisp of smoke but lots of coastal suggestions – ‘like sipping whisky from an oyster shell’.
