Whisky

This page is for a selection of single malt whisky that have tried, many years ago when a teenager; I drunk a small bottle, then did not like it for years until went on a tour of the Glenturret distillery when working in scotland many years back.
Page is more for personal records and so when finding possibly new whisky's can see if have already drunk them :)

Glenturret
Glentturret 10 year old
Tried the 18 year old and found it rather nice. Recently had the 22 year old from 1985, bottle 175 of 305 (Cask 136) 55.2% volume
Glen Moray
Glen Moray 12 year old
Glen Moray is a classic Speyside single malt whisky owned by Glenmorangie

Had the 10 year old whisky, recall it pleasant
Laphroaig
Laphroaig 10 Year Old
Laphroaig 10 Year Old is an all-malt Scotch Whisky from the remote island of Islay in the Western Isles of Scotland. Laphroaig, pronounced "La-froyg", is a Gaelic word meaning "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay". The 7 year olf variant is so much different :)
Highland Park
Highland Park 12 year old
Made from the best barley malted over peat fires; merged with the unique spring waters of the island; and aged in casks for a minimum of twelve years that shape its rare and very distinctive character
Tomtintoul
Tomtinoul 10 year old whisky
Extending the award-winning Tomintoul Speyside Glenlivet range was the result of much painstaking work by Master Distiller Robert Fleming and his dedicated team.
Loch Lomond
Single Malt
The taste on the palette is sweet, smokey, with hints of finest Madeira wine and has a long, mellow finish, with echoes of a raisiny Xmas pudding.
Tobermory
Tobermory_10
Unpeated malted barley creates a unique golden liquid with a magical heritage inspired by the Spanish Galleon whose treasure still rests close to the charming Tobermory Distilery.
Old Pulteney
Old Pulteney 12 year old
Matured wholly in air-dried, hand-selected ex-bourbon casks, the 'unashamedly excellent' Old Pulteney 12-years-old is the definitive expression in the Old Pulteney family. Traditionally crafted using techniques that other distillers have long abandoned, this winner of numerous gold medals at the most prestigious international competitions is a high water-mark of quality spirits.
Tormore
Tormore 12 year old
Tormore is a comparatively modern distillery, having been built by the Schenley International company in 1959.  This made it the first 20th century distillery to be built in the Highlands, a circumstance that generated considerable interest.  The architect of the new distillery was Sir Albert Richardson, the president of the Royal Academy, and the distillery buildings are so pretty that the distillery's appearance has been likened to a spa by more than one commentator.
Despite these favourable characteristics (and its large capacity of over 3.5 million litres/year) almost all of the production from the distillery is destined for owners Chivas Group's blended whiskies (the distillery was bought as part of the Allied Domecq aquisition by Chivas parent Pernod Ricard in 2005).
The present official bottling of Tormore is a 12 year old, although an Allied-era 15yo is also still available.  Independent bottlings are unusual.

Nose: Meadow smells, grass and wild flowers (heather), varnish and cereal (grist and malty cereal); some spice and herbs with water.
Taste: Full bodied and oily, but light and slightly acidic. Orange peel
Notes: Water kills it, sours it and lengthens the finish. Drink straight.
