Nose: Heavy, thickly oaked and complex: some curious barley-sugar notes here shrouded in soft smoke. Big, but seductively gentle, too.
Taste: The delivery, though controlled at first, is massive! Then more like con-fusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full blown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note (curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) - the custard presumably is oaky vanilla - hammers home that barley - fruitiness to make for a bit of a free-for-all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate.
Finish: A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fate, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit.

Nose. Distinctly confidant liquorice-Bourbon notes with near perfect bitter-sweet balance; burnt honeycomb and toffee also abound
Taste. Outstanding richness and sheen to the enormous barley-oak sweetness; again there is a big Bourbony cut to the cloth with all the liquorice and molassed sugar normally associated; but the barley adds that extra dimension
Finish. Long, wonderfully layered oak offering variations of a sweet dry theme; a touch silky with some cream toffee at the death

Colour - Gentle amber with a slight yellow hue.
Nose - Soft, very aromatic with a hint of honey and lemon in the foreground.
Taste - Sweet to start with an appetising fruitiness and a long smooth finish. Light yet complex, smooth yet challenging. This is a dram that has something for everyone.

Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla. Smooth and mellow with beautifully combined flavours, nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.

This might be young, but the use of a good Sherry barrel ensures that there is nothing missing. Surprisingly rich given the age, with a judicious use of Highland peat to round out the sherried fruit.

Appealing and lively take on this classic distillery, central to the Ballantines blend. There's lots of bright, sweet fruit upfront with a nicely matched malty core. Ageing in Bourbon barrels adds sweet vanilla and caramel overtones.

Rarely seen as a single malt, Glenlossie is a sadly underappreciated whisky despite being classified as one of the 12 ‘top class malts’ by blenders back in 1974. It's also a firm favourite with some of us at Connolly's
This bottling from independent bottler Morrison & Mackay goes to show why. This is a juicy, generous Sherried style, full of flavour, silky in the mouth, with a fantastic warming back-note of crystallised ginger. A seriously appealling dram!

A real treat - a chance to enjoy a properly aged (25 years) grain whisky. Every bit as smooth and refined as you would hope with the Bourbon barrel adding its own dimension. Harmonious and complex.

Glenfiddich Fire & Cane is a bold fusion of smoky and sweet notes. By marrying peated whisky and malts matured in bourbon barrels, and then finishing in Latin rum casks, we created an exquisite whisky with campfire smokiness and toffee sweetness.
Colour - Golden
Nose - Billowing soft peat notes, like distant smoke on the wind. Rich sweet toffee with zesty fresh fruit notes and spiciness.
Taste - Like a Highland peat campfire, with oak notes and toffee. Sharp green fruit, sweet baked apple and soft smoke.
Finish - Lingering smokiness and sweetness
