Opened this tonight. Arran Amarone cask finish..
an oily mouth and a mix of fruit, and spice. A drop of O2 is benificial here. sweet at first with cherries and maybe redcurrents... dries nicely and has a reasonable finish.
Ive held on to not opening this(old bottle) for some time, but now is the time and it is a lovely whisky. might be a bit of strawberry on the palate too,
good value and, yes, i would buy again.

Another wood finish opened today.
Glenglassaugh Port finish. 46% and very nice indeed. I do like glenglassaugh.
Toffee and spices on nose and a bit of wild berries and orange initially on palate, followed by some oak, raspberry and rare spices.
Good longish finish with blackcurrant and spices again to see it out.
Lovely slight pink colour too.
Mouthfeel is pleasent too and it gets a bit fruitier as it airs off.
Yes that is rather good. Not sure it's currently available but if it comes out again grab some
Another Port finished one opened today.. Had this before and enjoyed it.. Tyrconnell 10yr old port finish.
Excellent sweet, mangos and oranges on palate. finish is medium with more sweet orange peel .. nose has a little glaziers putty too.. nice for a 10 yr old tho and needs no water. Longer you leave it with air the better it gets. imo.

Just arrived today so opened.
Glen Moray Sherry Cask.
It's young but tasty enough.
Fruit, buttery and caramel mostly then slightly too much oak and spice but not bad for price..
At least you know its whisky.
Give it 3.5/5, which is a credible score.

I got a bottle of the BBR Speyside.
I absolutely loved the sherried edition so thought this worth a punt.
Needs 10-15 minutes in the glass to soften and lose its sourness. You then get some nice tropical fruits but still tastes quite austere.
Wouldn't buy another one but I'll be finishing the bottle!

beautifully married this.. black or blueberry, and a little strawberry and banana too.. pepper that goes right to finish. some buttery vanilla from the bourbon, but the two wine casks hold the strongest hand. Slightly sweet but not enough to make it sickly.
Im quite enamoured with this. Decent mouthfeel too. considering price and age.. 5/5

Glencadam 10yr old.

Lemon merrangue pie freshness on nose followed by a nice fresh fruits and vanilla mouth. this turns more toward lemonade then grapefruit with a reasonable level of pepper spice lingering on the mildish but quite long finish. A very tasty dram overall...
Overall, for this money it has to rate quite highly. I would buy again.
