WILD WEST COWBOY DRESSED IN LEATHER: Panel's Tasting Note: "We identified various typical aromas - sea breezes, shell sand, burnt sticks, embers, smoke, and crispy duck on the barbeque – but also vanilla, liquorice, lime, tobacco and fresh laundry flapping on the clothes-line. Mineral notes increased with water – quarries, flint, crushed rock, lobster shells and distant tarmac lorries – also nettles, sorrel and thyme. The palate, at natural strength, was big and busty – a tobacco-chewing, cigar-smoking, Wild West cowgirl dressed in leather. In reduction, sweet malt flavours came through, along with tar, ash, liquorice, dark chocolate, rhubarb and German Salbei throat sweets (sage). From the 'love it or hate it' distillery." Drinking tip: "For reflective moments, preferably by the seashore."

Amrut Portonova
$129.99
This port matured Amrut was a big hit at the Victoria Whisky Festival in 2011 and one of my favourite whiskies at the show. This limited edition expression has been bottled at a cask strength of 62.1%.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: A Thick pudding of a nose; fruit and caramel have merged into one slightly over-oaked soup; burnt apple pie
Taste: This is essentially a port pipe sandwich.... and it shows. The spicy, jammy fruit is interwoven through any amount of caramel while the oaky saltiness gets the taste buds both salivating and puckering until you run dry
Finish: Long, massive oak with quite evident traces of the virgin barrels now detectable. And more of a cocoa hue as it progresses. At last some muscovado sugars arrive to supplant the berry fruits

A CHARMING EVOCATION OF SUMMER
10 years old and 60.4% after maturing in a refill hogshead cask.
Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose was a fresh and charming evocation of summer – apple pie, cinnamon, rhubarb and custard, pineapple juice, lime, papaya, pear and banana. To taste, we found it a sweet and citric mix – lemon curd on digestive biscuits, sherbet lemons, grape skins, flying saucers, etc. – but along with that, some varnished pine and green beans. The reduced nose was very pleasant, with light vegetable oil, cider or perry, cranberry juice, icing sugar and a forest glade with boulders, after the rain. The reduced palate found Empire biscuits and pleasant creamy textures – exceedingly drinkable. From a distillery just west of Glasgow."
Drinking Tip: "To relax - maybe after a bath."

CAMPFIRE BY SEA CLIFFS
Only 9 years old from a refill hogshead this whisky is a massive 66%...
Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose had herbal notes (witch hazel, eucalyptus, bog myrtle) intimations of sea cliffs and then walnuts, peppered olive oil, biltong, toffee and ladies' handbags (leather, nail varnish, parma violets, maybe cigarette packets). The taste was huge – peat smoke, engine oil, smoked ham, dark chocolate, toffee bonbons and somehow both salty and chalky. The reduced nose found syrup, mango skins, tarred ropes and a pine forest by the sea. The reduced palate was still minerally (licking a limestone cave), with star anise, red peppercorns and a campfire among the ferns – very curious indeed! From the biggest distillery on the Rinns."
Drinking Tip: "A dram for going camping."
