Duncan Taylor, Black Bull, 12 Y.O., 50%.
An outstanding blended with 50% malt whisky and 50% grain whisky. Distinctive but not heavy sherry tone, balance and smooth even at 50% alcohol strength. A good daily drink at a good price (Good). NT$950
Glencadam, Rare Selection, 1979/2010, 31 Y.O., Cask No#5467, 55.3% (C/S), Taiwan Limited.
Glencadam, Rare Selection, 1979/2010, 31 Y.O., Cask No#5467, 55.3% (C/S), Taiwan Limited.
Flavorsome at start with typical sherry notes (Raisin, X’mas fruit cake); however, the expectation of lingering after taste given the high age profile did not exist (Good). NT$8,888

Longrow, 10 Y.O., 55.6% (C/S), Takaji Wood Finish.
Full and intense with strong tannic dryness from oak barrel; oily and chewy sweetness with lengthy aftertaste. An enjoyable classic Campbeltown whisky with a bit of a twist from the wood finish (Recommended). NT$2,300

Ardbeg, Supernova Stellar Release, 2009 First Edition, 58.9% (C/S).
Big, peaty and intense; image of BBQ with sense of smoky charcoal sizzling steak and sausages. Typical Ardbeg rough manly peat lingers in the mouth (Recommended). NT$3,200

Auchentoshan, 1999, 9 Y.O., 58.2% (C/S), Bordeaux Wine Cask Matured.
An interesting experience with St. Julien wine cask finish, but expected a bit more winey from this dram. Obvious citrus fruits and layers of woodiness at end. 3,600 bottles produced and released at the French National holiday, the Bastille Day (Good). NT$2,000
Auchentoshan, 1975, 35 Y.O., 46.9%.
Auchentoshan, 1975, 35 Y.O., 46.9%.
Flavors were dominated by light and creamy butterscotch with vanilla. It is very gentle and smooth yet complex; however, the expectancy for a high age profile dram is always higher than mediocre (Good). NT$16,850
