---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mekong | Grain/ Thailand | 4 | 0 | 0? | 30 | A mild taste of disinfectant (quite awful really) but the finish is fairly close to whisky | |||||
Doctor's Special | Blend/ Scotland | 3 | 2 | 0? | 74 | Balanced, light and very mild with a slightly peaty finish | |||||
Caol Ila (CC) * | 1981 | Islay | 6 | 5 | 0? | 75 | Fairly smoky and a bit intense (needs a drop of water); all in all more balanced (but less exciting) than the 1975 RM | | |||
Hankey Bannister | Blend/ Scotland | 4 | 0 | 0? | 76 | The nose is young but has nice spicy, fruity notes and a hint of toffee; the palate is smooth at first but develops a spicy bite and maybe even a hint of peat; a little young for my taste though | |||||
