I tasted four single malts from The Whisky Agency: Glen Moray, Linkwood, Rhinns (Islay), and a Secret Highland. Each offered something different and worth noting.

Tasted the 2024 Springbank 12 – bold, coastal, and layered with dark sherry depth. A confident dram that rewards patient sipping.

A grounded and honest take on the Springbank 14 Bourbon Wood—firm in character, coastal on the palate, with real depth and nuance throughout.

A straightforward, enjoyable Caol Ila 2012 from Whiskydudes with plenty of coastal peat, citrus zing, and salted malt for fans of younger Islay single malts.

An honest review of Chivas Regal Crystalgold – a rare clear whisky that surprised me with its subtle complexity and clean, floral profile.

A limited gin adventure from Monkey 47 with a new twist—pink sea salt. Here’s how it held up in aroma, taste, and balance.

Tasting Highland Park Cask Strength Batch 4: rich malt, wood smoke, and dried fruits in a bold yet balanced dram from Orkney.

A balanced, well-structured Armagnac with dried fruit, gentle spice and polished oak – here’s how Laubade 2006 impressed me during a quiet evening tasting.

A deep and balanced Glen Scotia with coastal influence, toasty oak and dark fruit. A confident 14-year-old Campbeltown dram with character to spare.

Gentle and grain-forward, this Dutch single malt offers subtle fruit and spice with a milky finish. An honest take on craft whisky from the Netherlands.
