| McGuinness Old Canada | Blend/ Canada | 2 | 2 | 0 | 70 | Mild at first, then quite spicy but with off-notes and a disappointing finish | |||||
| An Cnoc | 12 | E Highland | 4 | 1 | 0 | 72 | Fruity and a bit peaty nose (a bit of a collision though); mild, spicy palate with a hint of grilled steak; all in all unusual but quite drinkable | | |||

| Ardbeg Special Reserve |  | 12 | Islay | 5 | 8 | 0 | 75 | Young and smoky on the nose; on the palate: still a bit young, not very balanced, with burned aromas (like burned microchips!) | | ||
| 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 | | ||
| Hiram Walker Special Old Rye Whisky | Rye/ Canada | 4 | 2 | 0 | 75 | Begins with a slightly musty fruitiness that develops into a nice and fairly spicy finish | |||||
| Royal Canadian | 5 | Blend/ Canada | 4 | 0 | 0 | 75 | Fairly light with a spicy rye character; nice but a bit too musty | ||||
| Ardbeg (Samaroli) 57% | | 1975 1990 | Islay | 6 | 5 | 76 | At first a disappointing strange fruitiness, but it develops into a very nice finish (which doesn't make up for the bad start though) |
