BENNRINNES 13yrs 55%vol - 'This is decent wood and the result is a delicate, clean, complex, salivating and facinating malt of the highest grade, sprinkled with star quality throughout'  
Score: 94/100

MACDUFF 14yrs 46%vol - 'a stunning opening from a new whisky company which, at a first attempt has suceeded in showing this under-rated distillery in all it's glory and magnificence.  As fresh and thirst quenching as any malt gets' 
Score: 94/100

MACDUFF 15yrs 58.7% - 'I adore this distillery, especially when the honey comes flying through like this'
Score: 92/100

'NO ORDINARY' 16yrs 53.1%vol - 'magnificent'  Score: 90/100

TAMDHU 14yrs 58.5%vol - 'another desirable malt from this new company, but would have been at optimum ripeness for picking three or four summers earlier'
Score: 86/100

VATTED ISLAY - 'jerks around the palate without finding a rhythm. The odd moment though when it comes together superbly'
Score: 82/100
