OVERALL RATING
Editor’s Note: This whiskey was either bought as a sample by The Whiskey Wash or provided to us as a review sample by the party behind it. Per our editorial policies, this in no way influenced the outcome of this review.
Jim Kee, a pharmacist with a 20-year passion for Scotch, and Matt Dee, an American history teacher who shares a deep appreciation for whiskey, embarked on a journey of documenting their tasting experiences to discern the Scotches worth revisiting. Last year, they decided to share their insights with the world through their blog, The Whisk(e)y Noobs.
Can a Pedro Ximénez finish tame Aultmore’s signature sandalwood note? We taste this 85-bottle single cask from Duncan Taylor’s Octave range to find out.
New to Indian single malt? Should you start with smoky Amrut Fusion or honeyed Paul John Brilliance? We compare taste, awards, and price to find your first bottle.
Can a seven-year-old Ben Nevis taste beyond its age? This Bedford Park Oloroso bottling makes a persuasive case with rich dried fruit and remarkable balance.
