Living Cask Anniversary Offering 59%vol.

LFW's own idea of a good whisky and a good package. Like everything we do this is something unique, innovative and delightful.

I'd like to see someone open this as a present; it's designed as a bundle of intrigue and delights...

Blue Hanger 4th OB 45.6%alc.

4th of the new individual vattings by one of the industry's great noses, Sir Douglas McIvor and well up to the best of his pickings.

Like Doug there is tobacco-sherry notes, a clean middle weight, not too fat, not too skinny.

Buzzing, fresh and inviting. An interesting mouthfell, not particularly balanced but the wobble is very enjoyable.

With water the overall experience is a perfect sherry style single malt scotch. Another ace from Doug.

Quantity:

Famous Grouse Malt OB 30yo 43%alc.

It says on the back "though many rest for considerably longer".

As it's one of John Ramsey's creations I suspect it's very good, not yet 'officially' available in the UK yet.

Inverarity Islay OB 8yo 40%

A vatting of four Islay Malts bottled at not less than eight years.

Sales to Islay fans have been fantastic. There is a very emphatic phenolic and medicinal character peat and iodine which is classic Islay; a good oiliness, powerful flavours yet also a breeze of fresh air. This is an excellent variation on Islay malts which will provoke much debate among Islay fans as to where the four components come from. Ace.

Quantity:

Johnnie Walker Green Label OB 15yo 43%alc.

Special edition.

An ace! But not for the whisky novice.

The nose (of hot spicy chicken) is the weakest part (but very powerful). Taste is softer than the nose and has good balance from Speyside style thought to very distinctive Talisker and Caol Ila notes. Very much in the Johnnie Walker style and a well thought out creation.

Quantity:

Monkey Shoulder OB 40%alc.

A vatted malt from Wm Grant & Son of Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie fame. Frankly I think that the package is deceptive (not "27"years old) and the description confusing ("triple malt").

Footnote, they have taken the '27' off the neck strap, so they must agree.

A well ballanced if understated malt, nothing wrong with it but would prefer something else.

Macdonald's Glencoe OB 8yo 58%alc.

Eight year old and good value produced by Ben Nevis Distillery, so it should be worthwhile.

Quantity:

Poit Dhubh OB 12yo 43%alc.

A super mixed, blended or vatted malt. Easy drinking with plenty of well balanced flavours, island, sherry and malt. Excellent and a borderline ace!

£27.89 Including VAT at 17.5%

Quantity:

Poit Dhubh OB 21yo 43%alc.

A fine vatted malt, lovely fruity-polish nose, bold west coast style (Ben Nevis in particular) loads of fruit and a good smoky-salt thing. Shame, as it's vatted you lot won't be interested - so why am I waxing about it?

A vatting of malts from all the producing islands, a good concept - I thought it could do with more age, but Jim Murray applauds it.
