  • Batch H17-14, Bourbon 46%: 89 pts out of 100, (Very good to excellent), “if you are looking for something malty, tasty and a little different here’s your chap”
  • Batch H17-16, Peated 46%: 93 pts out of 100, (Brilliant), “Beautiful and elegant whisky..which should come in a cone, rather than a glass..”
