Best whisky of 2023: year review | WhiskyNotes
Jan 1, 2024 · Best new whisky in 2023. As often Gordon & MacPhail was responsible for three highlights with 93 points, although one Talisker managed to stand out above. It took the crown with 94 points – it is the best whisky I’ve tried this year: Talisker 45 Year Old ‘Glacial Edge’. Glen Grant 1959 ‘Mr George Legacy’.

Singleton of Glen Ord 14 Years (Special Release 2024)
1 day ago · Finish: fairly long, getting drier, always showing that young oaky profile. Plenty of citrus peels and ginger. While this Glen Ord shows a vibrant sweetness, there’s also a rougher side and plain wood getting in the way. Scotch for bourbon drinkers or fans of toasted virgin wood, perhaps. Available from plenty of retailers like The Whisky ...

Sherishòr Pure Malt 12 Year Old | WhiskyNotes review
Nov 5, 2024 · The name Sherishòr is a combination of Sherish (the Moorish name for Jerez) and the Gaelic Òr which means gold. The idea comes from The Rare Cask Company in Germany. Two versions exist, both 12 years old. We try the standard black label which comes at 45% ABV. The other one has a white label and comes at 54% cask strength.
