Bowmore “Tempest “- 55.10° - 10 y. *****
Krachtige Islay single malt whisky gerijpt in het vermaarde ‘Warehouse n°1’ gelegen net naast de kustlijn van het eiland aan de westkust van Schotland, is een terugkeer naar de roots voor de oude distilleerderij op Islay. Robuuste turf, gebrand eikenhout en enorm fruitig. De ideale whisky voor gure winteravonden bij het haardvuur.

Ardbeg - Rokerig, turf, robuust - 40° - 10 y. GOLD AWARD 2014
45.00 An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions on the tongue: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. This is followed by a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils. Ardbeg Uigeadail - Rokerig, turf, robuust - alcoholisch 54° ***** 64.95 Full flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours. The flavour is initially sweet as Christmas cake begins to soak into the tongue. A burst of winter spices sets off a smoky-spicy explosion countered by a sumptuous mid-palate of honey glazed smoked food and chewy treacle. Waves of deep smoky tones and rich aromas build up on the palate like . Ardbeg Corryvreckan - 57° - **** 75.90 Plunge into the whirlpool and taste the mysterious depths of Corryvreckan. Torrents of taste well up on the palate; deep, peppery and chewy, bombarding the tongue with its intense tastes and textures. The first plunge brings forth chewy peppered steak soaked in pepper sauce with the tang of crispy seaweed. As you descend deeper, encounter a mouthful of black tarry espresso coffee that coats the palate with rich melted dark fruits (blackcurrants, blueberries and cherries) and bitter almonds. As the taste soaks in deeper, star anise and hickory dry out the palate before a surprise of chalky effervescent violets fizz to the surface. Ardbeg “ Ardbog” - 52.10° ***** 166.95 Onder het motto ‘we dig peat’ dankt Ardbog zijn naam aan de turfblokken die de mout van de complexe turfsmaak voorzien. Deze gelimiteerde Ardbog heeft 10 jaar rijping ondergaan op ex-bourbon vaten, waarna een finishing volgde op ‘Manzanilla’ vaten. Hierdoor kreeg deze Ardbog een onderliggende droge sherry toets mee. Prachtige single malt op vatsterkte die best enige druppels water kan hebben. We all dig Ardbeg! Krachtige en relatief jong smakende Ardbeg met fijne sherry eigenschappen. Smaak komt in de buurt van een huwelijk tussen de Alligator en de Galileo met een prachtige sherrytoets op het einde! BBQ aroma’s rijkelijk overgoten met sherry! The nose is immediately oily and salty, like cured ham and olives. Peat, surely, but a lot less than usual.

Verder ook karamel, abrikozen en rozijnen. Afdronk met complexe ondertoon.

Caol Ila - 55.5° - 29 y. Cadenhead ***** Nieuw 169.00 Distilled in 1984, and bottled in 2013 with an outturn of 564 bottles. On the nose: Soft and mineraly. Salt light smoke. Very pleasant, no alcohol sting at all. Some citrus and freshly cut grass with a hint of mellom tobacco smoke. Subtle oranges after a while. Fabulous stuff this! Hints of clove with water added. More spice. Lemon oil, pine needles and crème brûlée. On the palate: Oily mouthfeel. Citrus and smoke. More than I anticipated. Big and mouthcovering. Salt and baked pears. Water makes it fruitier and sweeter with a hint of apple juice. The finish has oak, dry spices and unripe gooseberries. Sweeter with water. This is, in my opinion, Caol Ila at its best. Absolutely gorgeous whisky. Like drinking silk. Older bourbon matured Caol Ila seem to work really well. 92/100 points Springbank Campbeltown - 12y. Cask strenght 52,30° **** Nieuw 58.50 Deze single malt whisky van de Springbank Distillery heeft op Sherry Hogsheads en Refill Sherry Butts gerijpt. Hij is op de distilleerderij gebotteld.

35,75 Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Distillery Bottling Nose: Cooked fruit, sherry, toffee, a rum-like quality and notes of Bas Armagnac distilled circa 1940. Palate: Rich. Liqueur cherries in dark chocolate, more sherried fruit, ripe dark forest fruits, like a Black Forest Gateaux. Finish: Superb, led by thick dark treacle and toffee notes and chewy wooded notes, balanced with a green fruit edge. Bladnoch - 43° - 15 y. 46,40 Colour: white wine. Nose: light but not weak at all at first sniff, extremely citrusy (pure lemon juice) and quite mashy as well. Lemon sprinkled porridge? Gets then a little more flowery (touches of lilies of the valley plus celery) and even vanilled but it’s the lemony freshness that prevails here. What’s more, I think Bladnoch is one of these malts that stand a low alcohol content like 40% the most beautifully. Mouth: not too bold of course but perfectly balanced, with again this huge lemon as well as hints of salt. Goes on on grains, orange drops, lemon pie… And the finish is rather long, still lemony but also with a little candy sugar and touches of bubblegum.

Cu Dhub Single Malt Forest of Gaick -40° **** Glenglassaugh Highland “Revival” 45° ***** Nieuw
29.95 39.50
Revival is a stunning Highland single malt with a coastal charm. Colour: Copper Nose: Sweet caramel and toffee with notes of nutty sherry, milk chocolate and honey. Ripe plums, red berries and oranges. Caramelised sugar and earthy, charred oak. Palate: Sweet, rounded and creamy. Oranges, plums, cherry and walnuts, chocolate, honey-mead, sherry and soft, spiced oak. Finish: Medium with warming mulled-wine spices, sherry and caramel.
Glenglassaugh Highland “Evolution” Tennessee cask 50° ***** Nieuw
50.90 The signature Glenglassaugh spirit flavours of plums, pears and a bit of banana come through, there’s also peaches, a touch of citrus, a slight grassy note and it’s all wrapped up with lots of creamy vanilla. It doesn’t even come across as that youthful, certainly not spirity like most malts of this age, it seems easily 2-3 times older than it actually is, that’s what you get when you have well made spirit and good quality casks.
Tomatin Highlands Single Malt 15 y. 43° ****
This 15 year old was released in August 2009. It has a light, supple flavour profile, but with what Tomatin distillers describe as a “significant influence from the North American oak”. Nose: Gentle, balanced with orchard fruits, oak, blossom, orange too, creamy vanilla, toffee. Palate: Creamy and soft with a prominence of fruit and malt. Balanced, some toffee, caramel, citrus. Finish: A long, soft finish. Tomatin Highlands Single Malt 18 y. 46° **** 57.75 Nose: Delicious sweet sherry bursts up you, and plateaus with undertones of fresh apples, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and a hint of smoky heather. Taste: Sweet and honeyed at first, with an oaky edge. Develops in the mouth with a bite of citrus and a hint of dark chocolate. The finish is long and lingering, with warming alcohol and smooth rich sherry, and it all keeps the mouth alive for several moments after. A world class single highland malt.

43.50 Aroma: Coconuts and cream with some botanic notes, parsley and coriander. The smoke emerges after a minute followed by a mix of lime, grapefruit and tangerines with rich almond and aniseed. Palate: Initially feather light, followed by a honeyed smoke. The rich spice of cloves, cinnamon and star anise create an enigmatic elegance. Finish: Light with a hint of sweet smoke. Edradour - Body - Richness - Smoke - Sweetness - Character - 40° - 10 y. ***** 42.00 This whisky is incredible. Smooth and silky, quite a toffee sweetness on the nose. A silky massage on the palette. If you read on you’ll notice that there aren’t many people willing to share this one. Take note, this is a special. Very special. Vanilla, Nutmeg, Apple, Honey and Biscuits Aberlour - A’bunadh Speyside - zoet, kruidig, licht rokerig - 60° ***** 68.75 Incredibly dark toffee glowing honey amber in the glass, with warm inviting nose of soft toffee, caramel, savory butterscotch, warm winter spices, and a hint of honey. Taste is warm, glowing, christmas pudding, mocha, cream liqeur, menthol, cinnamon, licorice and glycerol sweetness. Deep, inviting, and the 60% is incredibly restraint with no signs of heat. Richer and creamier on the nose with a splash of water, revealing dried apricots, honey, orange blossom and fresh-baked brioche, while the taste now is much more forward, showing minty caramel and sweet raisin toast. Oban -- 43° - 14 years old. **** 50.00 Appearance: Olive gold Nose: Rich sweetness and fruits - oranges, lemons and pears, with sea-salt and peaty smokiness. Body: Full, rich.Palate: Mouth-filling late autumn fruits - dried figs and honey-sweet spices; followed by a smoky malty dryness./Finish: Long, smooth-sweet finish with oak-wood, dryness and a grain of salt. Perfect balance of sweetness maritime influence andlight peat smoke. A good long finish I do not notice as much smokiness as other reviews which suites me as not a lover of heavy smoked whiskys. Benriach Highlands - Dark Rhum Barrel- 46° - 15 y. 49.50 Toasting: I can almost feel the dreadlocks seeping out of the top of my head when I drink this, the dark rum barrel used for creating this whisky has worked wonders both on the nose and the old taste buds. This doesn’t taste like rum as such but has some wonderful sugary, banana, toffee aromas which make me think back to walking along a Carabbean beach as the sun slowly sets behind me. Wonderful brown sugar and the banoffee pie you get from Pizza Hut on the palate, there is also a hint of cinnamon and maybe even fresh thyme, but I may having West Indian flash backs again.(F. Curtis) Nose : Rhum, sugar and toffee - Body : Rich - Palate : Cinnamon, Rhum and sugar. Benriach Highlands - Tawny Port 46° - 15 y. **** 49.50 Cask: Matured in American bourbon barrels, finish in Aged Tawny Port hogsheads, sourced from the Douro region in the north of Portugal. Colour: Coppery Nose: Crème brûlée, honey, cinnamon and coconut in harmony with rich port notes and oak wood. Palate: Butterscotch, herbs, cinnamon, peaches and sultanas, infused with rich port and oak wood notes. Special: Non chill filtered, natural colour. Benriach Highlands - Sherry Wood- 46° - 15 y. **** 49.50 Caramel, carob, sight smell and taste!! Nice and smooth, well rounded. Szarik 16 April 2013 I guess it hasn’t spent much time in Pedro Ximinez casks as I hoped. Anyway..it says on the bottle that is has been matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels and that explains a lot! Benriach Highlands Solstice - 50° - 17y. ***** 68.50 De tweede editie van de Solstice serie. Deze zwaar geturfde whisky is gerijpt in ex-bourbon vaten en is nagerijpt in Tawny Port vaten. Neus: Prachtige aroma’s van gestoofde zomer bessen, framboos, zwarte- en rode bessen. De fruitige tonen zijn omhuld door turfrook. Een hint van versterkte wijn en druiven. Smaak: Eerst droge tonen van noten hierna stevige turfrook en subtiele tonen van gedroogde rozijnen en gekonfijt fruit. Finish: Een lange en zachte afdronk met stevige turfrook. Benriach Highlands - 20 y. - 43° ***** 69.70 Zoete fruitsmaken en een beetje turf This smooth single malt has an elegant full taste and aroma that captures fruity, floral, spicy notes, with fascinating overtones of honey, vanilla, apples, chocolate and nuts. Nose : Spicy, nutty, honey, vanilla, floral, fruity with well balanced wood overtones. Colours : Mid-amber, hints of gold. Taste: Rounded medium to full bodied, rich honey, vanilla with hints of apples, spice, chocolate and nuts. Tullibardine “Sovereign” - Highland - 43° *** 37.00 A lovely balance whisky exhibiting barley paer drops and creamy. Chocolate notes which develop on the palete with a lingering finish.

Tullibardine 1988 Highland - 46 ° 51.99 The 1988 is a light, refreshingmalt exhibits all the quaffable characteristics of the Tullibardine family of single malt. With hints of vanilla on the nose and white chocolate in the finish, this is a well-mannered malt; an easy going whisky that simply a pleassure to drink. The 1988 is fitting celebration of the quinventennial of King James IV’s coronation. Balblair - 1990 - 2°Rel Highland - 46° ***** Nieuw 94.50 The second release of 1990 vintage Balblair. Long known to blenders as a category ‘A’ malt, Balblair is a terrific malt whisky worthy of the renewed attention its 2007 makeover and thrilling vintage releases have bestowed. Nose: This one starts of fruity, with oranges, peaches and plums. But then it becomes more woody, and also a bit herbal after some time. Caramel appears as well. Taste: Warming palate. A bit salty and a hint of pepper, but then some lovely tropical fruit. As the nose suggests, a bit oaky. But the nice caramel and honey tones bring back the balance. Finish: Some chocolate, honey and caramel. But after a couple of minutes it gets fruitier. Very pleasant. Dalmore - 2003 Highland - 46° ***** Nieuw 51.00 Traditioneel worden de whisky’s van Dalmore achtereenvolgens op bourbon- en Oloroso sherryvaten gerijpt. Voor deze nieuwe Dalmore 2003 heeft Master Blender Richard Patterson beslist om de rijpingsprocessen om te draaien en te beginnen met rijping op Olorosovaten.

Weggelegd voor zowel beginnende als ervaren whiskyliefhebbers die houden van complexe, op sherryvat-gerijpte whiskies. Eigenschappen : Mooie release van Dalmore.Evenwichtig en fijn qua smaak en neus. Zalige afdronk, zonder storende tonen.Correcte prijs voor deze single malt. Dalmore - 18y. - Highland - 43° ***** Nieuw 116,00 Het stokpaardje van de Dalmore distilleerderij, een uitzonderlijk zachte whisky met een adembenemend smakenpalet. Kruidig en zoet zoals we gewend zijn van Dalmore maar met een ongelofelijke diepgang en rijkheid.Met heerlijke aroma´s van witte wijn, chocolade en amandelen, die aangevuld worden met tonen van butterscotch en walnoten. Een voortreffelijk smaak, zacht van textuur, ontzettend rijk; noten, vanille, toffee, lavendel en eikenhout zijn aanwezig gecompleteerd door notities van chocolade, leer, koffie en rozijnen met een rijk scala aan diverse kruiden. De lange afdronk met tonen van sherry en kruidnagel past perfect bij het smakenpalet en zal je ongetwijfeld nog lang bijblijven. Tamdhu 10 y.-Speyside -Sherry Casks 40 ° **** Nieuw 41.50 Today, tamdhu 10 year old embodies the same intrepid approach. Matured exclusively in sherry oak caks, we ensure every drop is as magnificent now as it was then. Tasting: nose : the softiness of vanilla and sugared almonds, balanced by fresh oak and cinnamon. Palate : Burdting with fruit and spice - gently vielding to toffee and the richness of sherry oak. Finish : Fruit and villa linger, becoming pleasantly drying - finally unveiling the merest wisp of peat smoke. Old Ballantruan 10y Speyside - Glenlivet - 50° ***** Nieuw 55.75 Description: Old Ballantruan, now released with an age statement and distilled at Tomintoul. Colour: Rich gold. Nose: Gently spicy with smokey “peat-reek” deliciously balanced by a sweeter creamy core. Palate: Some gentle peaty smokiness equipoised with a sweet, creamy, malty backbone.

3481/12
31.85 The nose is sweet and mildly smokey with dried tree fruit (think apricots, plums and cherries) along with vanilla and fruit cake. Also some tiny hints of green notes (very briefly), sherry and some more peat smoke (reek) but it’s very gentle and not overly strong however it’s all well in balance. The taste is gentle at first with some malt and then there’s a wee bit of a peat reek attack intermingled with the sweet sherry and some slight green notes and raw tobacco and leather which all becomes quite sweet at the end. It’s very nice. The finish is at first mildly peaty followed by some malt ad then some chocolate and dryness from the oak, more of the tobacco and leather (although very gentle) and then the sweetness and dryness, end over end. Poit Dhub Gaelic Malt 12y. - 43° **** 33.25 Quality Blended Malt: Arrival is all Oloroso sherry with lovely toffee and dried fruits. The long finish is a blast of smokey peat. However, this is no Lagavulin 16 as the elements are not so well integrated, nor does it have Laga’s complexity or age. Blended in the Isle of Skye may well include some Talisker. Bottled unchillfiltered at 43% it is a great find and very good valu

Unbelievable I’ve always been a Talisker fan and this is one of the most stellar bottles to ever from the distillery. Big, bold, beefy (I get huge bacon on the palate), and immensely satisfying. If you are wearing socks at the time, it will blow them off. But this dram rides the tidal wave of 57% alcohol content with exquisite finesse. Just wow. (3rd November 2014)

79.00 Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt The nose is very pungent and full. Notes of sour citrus develop with rich peat smoke. Hints of peppered oak and notes sea spray pounding stones and a little kelp. The palate is thick and full. Creamy manuka honey and lemon juice, notes of peppered oak and spice, a little butter perhaps and plenty of dry wood. The finish is long with black pepper and dry oak.
Jura - 40° - 10 y. ***** 34.99 Isle of Jura 10yo is an accessible, easy-drinking malt. Medium-bodied with a delicate sweet palate, with a hint of brine developing on the finish. A great introductory malt. Excellent whisky that comes at a very good price. what strikes me about it is that it has that salty, iodide, seaside character that comes from its marine roots, but also a strong body which I like in highland whiskies. I enjoy it very much! (27/9/2014) Jura “Superstition” Lightly Peated - 43° ***** Nieuw 42.00 Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt Nose: Gristy and quite like new make. This is a young whisky, though it offers up the same evocative smoke and heady malt that you’d expect from an older Jura. It’s quite sweet and creamy, and reminds us of Chantilly cream. Palate: Sweet and porridge-like. A cereal fest on the tongue, with hints of white pepper and black forest honey with hot buttered toast. Oily. Finish: Medium length with hints of honey and spice on the tail. Jura - 40° - 16 y. ***** 56.00 Isle of Jura 16 Bottling Note This 16 year old from the Isle of Jura was a bronze medal winner at the 2004 International Wine and Spirits Competition. Nose: Fragrant, slightly floral cereal, some minerality at first, becoming increasingly creamy with a hint of orange. Mixed nuts, redcurrant, green apple and finally dark chocolate and spice. Palate: Oily and resinous with sweet tobacco, mixed nuts, clove, milk chocolate and violet. Rich and round. Finish: Drying, fragrant oak. After a few sips some chocolate lingers too. Arran “Orkney Bere Barley” - Cask Strength -56.2 **** Nieuw 68.00 Colors: Ripe golden bere. Aroma: Malty hertal initially with hints of vanilla and freshly cut bay. A veritable hedgerow of aromas is at play whilst honey and sweet fruits emerge with a dash of water against a back-drop of rich toasted oak. Palate: Rip apples and oak dominate at first before a full-bodled speciness envelopes the palate and ents trough the sweetness. Finish: The bold malt re-appears to mingle beautttifull with the spices which soften over time. The influence of the Bere Barley is dramatic and unmistakeable: offering a taste of whisky as taste of whisky as it used to be.

It compares with any whisky from any country. Clean, delicate and delicious. (L.

Bottled at 45% for extra oomph. On the face of it, this is expensive for a ten year old whisky, but it’s well worth the money in quality terms.

HAKUSHU - Bourbon Barrel 12 Years 48.20°
Colour: eucalyptus honey. On the nose: Wave of citrusy sweetness. Lemons, leading into a honeyed mead. A buttery, almost light cheesy note to this, which then blends into vanilla. Very elegant stuff. In the mouth: gentle and light on the tongue, and with a sincere lead-in of malted barley. Somewhere in there I get a sense of smoke, but it’s far off. Vegetative, yet it starts to get a little sweeter. Grapefruit? Voignier perhaps. It’s nicely balanced, but overall very straightforward. There just doesn’t seem to be much life in the flavours – the key note seems to be that sweet malt, a little heat and spice – but it’s rather two-dimensional compared to, say, the Hakushu Heavily Peated. And it’s a touch vinegary on the finish, as well – like a white wine that’s been left open for too long.

The nose was found behind the alcohol sitting as a nice Winter pine for me. The taste gently wrapped the tongue in soft mint like notes before turning mildly peaty on the sides of my tongue. The ending allowed the soft entry to make way for a sharper finish with lingering peat like a fisherman’s late October morning. More enjoyable japanese whisky than most i’ve had because of the complexity. Awards for Nikka Taketsuru 17 - 2014

Whyte & Mackay’s big-selling entry-level blended whisky. High quality and a great way to start working your way up through the rest of their range. The softness, creamyness on the nose. Lovely. This whisky tastes exactly as described above. It is great dream. Have to try the older brothers 19 and 22. Pleasant whisky experience

Whyte & Mackay - 40% - 13 years old.
The nose is quite rich and well-balanced. There are notes of oak and resin, a touch of sherried peels and Oloroso, a little honeyed sweetness. The palate is quite thick with a good mouth feel. There are notes of honey and sherry and a little smoke. The finish is of good length.

Blanton’s Original - Singel Barrel Bourbon - 46.5%
If you see this bottle in your local store, grab it. I don’’t think there is another bourbon that can out do Blanton and also has an amazing kick to it once time proceeds. There may not be another bottle within this price range that can give you a “bang for your buck”. Makes you glad you picked up the bottle.( J.Peterson 2014)

Gouden Carolus - Single Malt - 46°
De opeenvolgende rijping in klassieke Bourbon vaten gevolgd door een verdere rijping in Het Anker vaten (houten vaten bewerkt door de tonnenmaker volgens onze eigen specificaties) resulteert in een verfijnde whisky met een volle en evenwichtige smaak. De subtiel aanwezige fruitaroma’s worden mooi aangevuld met toetsen van hout en vanille.
