Glengoyne 18 Year Old

Tamdhu 10 Year Old

Cask Islay single malt

..and some Irish drams-:


Midleton Very Rare Irish Whiskey

The Irishman Founders Reserve

Murray I can highly recommend the Glengoyne 21, the Midleton Very Rare is hit or miss from year to year, most have been very good in my experience but I would say find out which year they have available and check out some reviews if you are considering the Midleton. I wanted to like the Tamdhu 10 but some poor sherry casks spoiled the bottle I had and I would need to hear it has seriously improved before giving it another try.

The Cask Islay is also very good, sweet, smoky and spicy.

I've just got the Powers amongst a few other Irish numbers in preparation for St Patrick's. I'll let you know how I get on but if it's anything like the 12 year old it'll be a good one. The Tamdhu I had last year and wasn't a memorable experience. No bad but it's not standing out.

Murray you can read my review of the Powers Gold Label here:

www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/powersgoldlabel.htm

Powers Gold Label is a very good Irish blend, some single pot still Powers worth looking at are:

Powers Signature www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/powerssignaturerelease.htm

Powers John's Lane 12 year old www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/powersjohnslane.htm

As others have said the Glengoyne 21 is very good
