| Whisky | Age/ Vintage | Origin | Richness | Peat/ smoke | Sherry influence | Rating | Price | QPR | Comments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | ||||
| Caol Ila (Sign) 58.5% | | 1981 20 | Islay | 3 | 7 | 0? | 82 | Mild yet quite peaty, balanced with a very nice finish (but perhaps a bit bland) | |||

| Glenlivet | | 18 | Speyside | 7 | 0 | 0? | 82 | € 46 | 22 | Dry, oaky, fiery and a bit spicy palate with notes of vanilla and fruit; all in all nice but fairly flat and a little too woody | |
| Glen Breton | 10 | Canada | 5 | 0 | 0? | 84 | Nice, mild, malty nose with oak and a note of cream; richer palate with nice notes of fruit and oak (rather nice for a 10 y.o.) | | |||
| Millburn (RM) 51.2% | | 1969 35 | Highland | 6 | 0 | 0? | 84 | Fairly rich with a (disappointing) dry, spicy, oaky character but also a nice fruitiness | |||
