Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: Lemon, panatella and pine forest. Slightly green with vanilla.

Finish: Sweet but peppered.
Overall: A clean and certainly affordable single malt whisky.
Auchentoshan American Oak
$59.99
As with all whisky from the Lowland distillery, this Auchentoshan is triple-distilled. What makes it a bit different from the rest of the distillery range is the fact that it was aged entirely in ex-Bourbon barrels. 40%.
Amrut Naarangi
$143.99
Derives its name from the Hindi word for orange. Barrels were filled with sherry and orange peels for three years. The barrels were then filled with 3 year old whisky which was left to mature a further three years. 50%
From the Distillery: "The whisky is not dominated by the Orange but remarkably balanced out", notes Ashok Chokalingam, GM International Markets, Amrut. "The finish is of subtle orange notes while in the middle ground you can find the traditional Amrut signature."
Millstone 10yr American Oak 43%
$99.99
A 10 year old unpeated Dutch Single Malt Whisky from the awarding wining Millstone, distilled by Zuidam Distillery. Despite being labelled a 10 year old, the whisky is actually 14 years old, distilled in 2000 and bottles in 2014. These whiskies are expected to cause quite a buzz.
While not historically known for their whisky, the Dutch have been distilling as long as anyone in Europe. Most famous for genever and brandy, some of the distilleries there have taken to producing whisky. The Zuidam family began producing genever and other liquors in 1976 in the town of Baarle-Nassau on the Belgian border. Patrick van Zuidam, the second generation, began experimenting with whisky distillation in 1996, and started laying down barrels. The distillery produces both malt and grain whiskies, including a powerful rye. While they have borrowed and been influenced by the whisky makers in other countries, they are making a distinctly Dutch whisky. In one curious aspect, they mill their own barley in traditional windmills.
From the Distillery: “The whisky is aged in new American oak. These barrels add a rich vanilla and honey sweetness to the whisky with delicate notes of coconut and spices like cinnamon and cloves. In 2014 won Millstone American oak a silver medal in the Wizards of whisky competition in London.”

G&M Private Collection Banff 1975
$6,699.99
An absolute stunner from a distillery that sadly did not survive the Great Distillery Culling of 1983.

Distilled in 1975, the whisky was matured 46 years in a Refill American Oak Hogshead before bottling at 48.6%. Only 102 bottles have been released as part of the Gordon & MacPhail Recollection Series. 91.57pts Whiskybase
