WSD's Comment: Initial heady dark chocolate and fruit compote. Rum and raisin. Floral perfumed notes back by toffee. The sherry notes are pronounced in this expression give lots of notes of jam and fruit cake.
Only the very best casks have been selected to ensure a single malt of unsurpassed richness and embody the ultimate expression of Aberlour.
Triple distilled and matured in American bourbon oak for over 18 Years. The result a refreshing Lowland single malt whisky with the added infusion of ripe citrus and green tea, the warmth of toasted almonds and the signature smooth, delicate Auchentoshan taste.
Always well received. This is still an outstanding whisky. Auchentoshan three wood ages gracefully in American bourbon casks - finishing in Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximinez sherry casks. The result: smooth and complex, with red fruits, chocolate and toasted hazelnut.
Through the smoke and nutty sweetness, comes the unmistakeable feel of Dories silky water, followed by a dry, well balanced finish. 
Specially selected Balvenie - finished in casks that previously held rum distilled in the Caribbean. The delicate fresh taste of Caribbean rum enhances The Balvenie's vanilla notes in the finishing - whilst adding spicy aromatic qualities to the whisky.
Like the Balvenie 12 Years Old Double Wood the 17 Years Old is matured in American Oak and European Oak. The majority of the 17 years is in American Oak with between a few months and a year in European Oak ex-Sherry casks.
This BenRiach 10 Years Old is the 1st whisky in Benriach's core range to have been created predominantly from whisky distilled under the current owner's ownership of BenRiach Distillery which they acquired in April 2004.
Part of the Flora & Fauna Series, the Benrinnes 15 Years Old is described as a rounded and mellow single malt. 
The Benromach 10 Years Old is a beautifully balanced whisky that has been entirely handcrafted at Benromach. Every moment of its making was an expression of the art of distillation.
What The WSD thinks: Cinder toffee and woodfire ash. There's newspaper in there as well. Very different on the palate with lots of fruit. Drawing/starting a fire with newspaper while eating tropical fruit.
The 15 Years Old follows on from the 10. The longer maturation softens it's smokiness to hints of charred oak while developing the wood-imbued character. Bourbon casks cultivate the sweetness vanilla pods and honey while sherry casks impart rich fruity notes.
The Benromach Organic single malt whisky is made using the finest organic ingredients meeting UK Soil Association standards for growing the ingredients, distillation, maturation and bottling. It is then matured in virgin American oak casks retaining the Benromach fingerprint of elegant fruitiness with that gorgeous hint of chocolate.
The Bowmore 15 is from whisky matured in Bourbon casks which then has a further maturation in sherry casks. The distillery says it is an exquisite sherry cask finish that develops layers of rich, peat smoked complexity at 15 Years Old.
Caol Ila - The smoothness & fine balance of Caol Ila 12 Years Old suggests the rounded shape of the stills, softly outlined in a cloudy day's 1st glimpse of the sun. Fresh & fruity, it is a classic expression of the Caol Ila character. Here are those spicy sea-air aromas and sweet smoky-dry flavours, elegantly expressed with a clarity and balance that comes from perfect maturation.
