Balvenie Portwood 21yr Single Malt Scotch (750ml)
From Dufftown, Speyside, Scotland

94BTI

Bright amber color. Complex aromas of waxy honeycomb, spicy poached pears and peaches, white potpourri, and salty buttery cashew brittle follow through on a silky, round entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with great balance and depth. Finishes with a long, lingering wave of flavor with caramel apple, anise, cinnamon raisin bread and floral talc evanescences. Impressively rich and smooth.

Dewar's Ancestor 12yr Blended Scotch (750ml)
From Aberfeldy, Highlands, Scotland

92WE 89BTI 89WHA

At first, the scent is mild and sweet, but with time opens up to a distinct caramel aroma with a tinge of orange peel. Although fairly boozy on the palate at first sip, eventually this viscous, honey-colored spirit emerges as mellow and fruity, and faintly peated. A splash of water coaxes out more vanilla tones. Good value.

92 points, Wine Enthusiast (Sep 2011)

Golden amber color. Mild aromas of grainy cereal and spiced honey cake with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a pleasant melange of dried fruits, spices, and creamy nougat on the warming finish. A rock solid sipping or cocktail whisky.

89 points, Beverage Testing Institute (May 2012)

Gold-amber color. Toffee, fruit, and a wisp of smoke underpin floral aromas. On the palate, flavors are nicely balanced and harmoniously interwoven. Gently sweet toffee notes up front gradually yield to drier notes on the finish, with soft, delicate fruit flavors throughout.

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12yr Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch (750ml)
From Tain, Highlands, Scotland

93WE

Aged in Bourbon casks for 10 years, then “extra matured” for two years in Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is luxe and rich, a fine after-dinner sipper. Allow a little time for the aroma to emerge, and a splash of water for maximum flavor. The reward is a thick caramel aroma and flavor, with mouthwatering spicy notes of clove, cassia bark and a hint of orange peel.

Aberlour A'bunadh Single Malt Scotch (750ml)
From Aberlour, Speyside, Scotland

100WE

Intriguing and challenging bouquet of aromas of roasted nuts, old leather, black pepper, old oak and dried fruit. Palate entry is aggressive in spirit, but sweet and pruny; midpalate is drier and features tastes of leather and grain. Aftertaste teems with oak resin, hard cheese (meaning, rancio), candied nuts, candied fruit and dark honey. Add mineral water.

Don’t dilute this light, gentle Scotch too much. Enjoy the honeyed, fresh tropical fruit aromas and mouthwatering vanilla and almond flavors with a hint of smoke and spice on the finish. Light body. Good value.

91 points, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2011)

Antique amber color. This whisky maintains the elegance cherished by Glenlivet enthusiasts, but finishing the whisky in limousin oak produces a whisky of deeper wood notes, particularly wood spices (vanilla, sandalwood, perhaps even mint) and floral notes. It’s rich, complex, and dry-especially on the finish.

Johnnie Walker Red Label Blended Scotch (750ml)
From Scotland

This spirit needs some time to open up, and then mild raisin and burnt-orange aromas peek through. Caramel flavors give over to a lingering smoky finish. The distiller claims that this blend is the only one created for mixing; surely it would be nice served tall, with lots of ice and ginger ale.

89 points, Wine Enthusiast (Sep 2011)

Golden amber color. Aromas of butter roasted nuts and toffee follow through on a round, supple entry to a dryish medium body with good depth and layers of dried fruits and spices. Finishes with mossy peat, wet stone, and pepper on the long warming fade. Very solid with good dimension and balance.

A rich, balanced single malt with a creaminess that will appeal to novice scotch drinkers.

Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition Blended Malt Scotch (750ml)

The Real McCoy! It's said that during Prohibition Bill McCoy serviced the better speakeasies with proper Cutty Sark; hence the name. If this is a recreation of what they might have been drinking back then, you can see why they kept fighting over it. This is another bold, earthy, smoky blend with oily, industrial notes. There's crabapple, smoke, bitter lemon, grapefruit, and even black currant. It would seem blended whisky is where it's at right now! Great stuff.

Nosing passes find delicious aromas of roasted chestnuts, nectarines, apricots, banana, traces of jasmine, unbaked bread dough and yeast, and light honey. Palate entry is assertive and caramel sweet; midpalate is more integrated as layers of sweet grain and toffee intermingle with dried fruits (prunes), oaky spice and marzipan. Concludes sweet, oaky and a touch Sherried.

Aftertaste is deep and unabashedly sweet and honeyed.

93 points, Beverage Testing Institute (May 2011)

Lightly smoky, lightly fruity aroma, this spirit shows a little more caramel the more you dip into the glass. The primary flavor is a lingering peaty note, but also has some nice undercurrents of caramel and honey.

Aromas of toasty grain, sweet cream, honey and dried fruits have a delicate mossy, peat note and follow through on a soft supple entry to dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with refined depth and balance. Concludes with lush buttery praline, sweet brown spices, and damp earth accents on the long, gentle finish. A very elegant and nuanced single malt that is eminently drinkable.

93 points, Beverage Testing Institute (May 2010)

Celebrating a special birthday? Here’s your bottle: one of the few Scotches finished in Caribbean rum casks. Most of the flavor in this bright amber spirit is on the finish, with its lingering Sherried-fruit, caramel and nuts. A splash of water further amps up the flavor. Pairs well with savory game dishes as well as fruit desserts.

91 points, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2011)

Soothing and seamless on the nose and palate with chewy toffee, molasses, nougat, almond butter, vanilla fudge, cinnamon spice, and nutmeg, along with gentle tobacco notes emerging later on the palate. A pleasing dry finish offsets the sweeter notes. A delicious whisky from beginning to end.

91 points, Beverage Testing Institute (Apr 2012)

Opening whiffs detect scents of toasted cereal grains and biscuit batter; air contact stimulates deeper aromas of peanut butter, buttered popcorn, wheat toast and lanolin. Palate entry is sweet, maple-like and sappy; the midpalate features oily flavors of roasted nuts, sautéed butter and nougat. Ends on a nutty, near honeyed note, with a trace of cigarette tobacco.

Elegant, light and pretty. This amber spirit has a light, briny vanilla scent and a silky feel. A veil of smoke rises through the Scotch (but fades out fast), leaving behind a sweet nutty, vanilla finish.

93 points, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2011)

Highland Park 12 Year Old boasts individuality and complexity, thanks in part to the use of Orcadian peat in the distillery floor maltings and the employment of ex-sherry casks for maturation. The nose is fragrant and floral, with hints of heather and some spice. Smooth and honeyed on the palate, with citrus fruits, malt, and distinctive tones of wood smoke in the warm, lengthy, slightly peaty finish.

So how brave can you be? Would you take one of the world's most iconic blends and risk messing with it? If you've got a whisky maker as good as Jim Beveridge, then why not? This picks up from the regular JW Black and its signature Caol Ila smoke and peat heart and then adds to it, doing exactly what it says on the tin. But the clever part of this is upping the apple, orange, and fruit content too. Great.

Sheep Dip Scotch (750ml)
From Inverkeithing, Lowlands, Scotland

94WE Top 50

The silly name of this delicious, hard-to-put-down blended Scotch supposedly is derived from the days “when farmers hid their home-made whisky from the nosey excise officers in barrels marked ‘Sheep Dip.’” Made with a blend of 16 single malts from the four major whisky regions, this has an intense apple aroma and flavor, overlaid with a faint curl of smoke. The earthy smokiness grows on the finish, with intriguing dry and savory notes, like baker’s chocolate and brine. Pair this with crumbly aged cheeses.

Ardbeg 10yr Single Malt Scotch (750ml)
From Ardbeg, Islay, Scotland

93WHA 91WE

Straw-gold color. On the nose, sweet toffee, citrus notes, seaweed, and spice complement a powerful peat smoke infusion. In body, it is thick and oily. On the palate, a somewhat sweet maltiness up front is run over by a powerful peat smoke locomotive. Again, the whisky is enriched with citrus and pear notes, spice, and seaweed. The finish is powerful, long, and warming. The smoke lingers for minutes, if not hours.

93 points, Whisky Advocate (Vol. 9, #3)

For peat lovers only. Pale straw, briny nose. On the palate, this is like a time-release smoke capsule—after a flash of sweetness, the smoke just keeps rolling on in waves. Water adds some softness and mitigates the smoke a bit. Well-constructed and classic. Good value.

Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or 12yr Single Malt Scotch (750ml)

This golden spirit is often flagged by bartenders and sommeliers as a favorite; it’s easy to see why. A decade in Bourbon casks, plus an extra two years in Sauternes barriques yields a fresh honeysuckle and vanilla perfume and a super-smooth spirit with creamy honey and nut flavors, with hints of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Very few spirits have such elegance and silky finesse. Good value, too.
