So as the nice deanston kicks the bucket, literally, I've opened this Black Bull 12, blended. This is rather good at price of about £37.

Over the pond and Few Bourbon from Evanton, which was under prohibition for a 100 yrs.
Lots of smooth spice in this with toffees and a little vanilla. Not especially complex but warming and no need to add any O2 to its 46.5% abv.
A nicely balanced bourbon.

Compas Box Spice Tree. Blended Malt at 46%, non chill filtered and natural colour, also aged in special casks of american oak and heavily toasted french oak heads.
This gives this its character and a lovely one it is. Various highland malts in this, with Clynelish being the principal. Nice vanilla on nose and mouth with an array of spices and a long finish. Smooth too, plus maybe some herbs in there too..
for money this is up there with the best blends for my tastes..

Glenfarclas 18yr old.

Nomad Outland Whisky....
This is made with a selection of over 30 malt and grain whiskies aged between 5 and 8 years old, which are blended together and matured in Sherry butts in Scotland for three years. Following that, the whisky is shipped off to Jerez, where it is finished in Pedro Ximénez casks for a year before it is bottled..
This is a nice smooth warming christmas cake of a dram where the cook got distracted and kept pouring.. You could drink this all night.... i might just do that. A bit of Greek brandy in the flavour profile, PX sweetness and so much sherry its hard to compare.. Great value for money.
