I’ve sampled from only a few Kilchomans over the years. In all honesty I often find Kilchoman to be of good quality, but often overpriced and rather inconsistent. It's for that reason it's easily the…

It’s Glengoyne’s 15 year old today. I’ve tried more from their older lineup than I have the new one. Despite its many fans, the brand’s always been hit or miss for me. Let’s see which this is.Nose:…
