anCnoc 12yo 40% 70cl –

Was £35.75  Today’s offer price – £29.50 (save £6.25)

Tasting Notes:

Nose: An aggressive pepperiness bites deep into the usual grassy maltiness and coal smoke. Excellent depth and complexity, though slightly more aggressive, if younger, in style than of old.

Palate: Absolutely fabulous, near-perfect, malt arrival, perhaps the most clean, yet intense of any in Scotland. The complexity is staggering with not only multi-layers of malt but a distant peat and oak fusion.

Finish: Deliciously spicy.

Glen Moray Classic 40% 70cl –

Was £22.99  Today’s offer price – £18.99 (save £4.00)

Tasting Notes:

Nose: At full strength the aroma is fragrant and lightly drying with warming malty notes. The first impression is of butterscotch and shortbread with fresh herbal/grassy notes. Lemon curd and meringue are discovered in the background.

Palate: The mouthfeel is lightly spiced with a warming and gently mouth watering effect. Malty toffee sweetness is present throughout with blackcurrants and a fragrant citrus lemongrass tang.

Finish: Shortbread fresh herbal notes (lemongrass) and the sweet spiciness of ginger marmalade.
