Scotch Ratings and Reviews

Highland Park 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Mr.Jack 1/22/26

I wouldn't call this High Park, I'd call this sewer water in a park.

I'd like to inform any would be enthusiasts that this isn't the drink to waste your change on. I found the whiskey as good as Braveheart. As in quite poorly made and to Scottish for my taste. I'd like the distilleries to burn this and try again.

The Singleton of Dufftown 54 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This taste like how I imagine poor feels.

Mr. Jack here again. It's come to my attention this website on the world wide web is selling this atrocity. I had it in a fine establishment in Roma. I was thoroughly disappointed then as I am now. How could you serve gentlemen this slop of a drink. I'd use this to clean lavatory toilets.

1950 The Macallan Fine & Rare Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I found the whiskey subpar.

I've had the best and the greatest. This whiskey isn't for the gentlemen's pallet. Its notes weren't quite distinguished enough for my gold tongue. (Ladies call me that as well.) I've drank with Frank Sinatra and Deano. I was alive when this was made. I'm currently 94. This wasn't worth the cheap price. Donate it to a hospital to be use as antiseptic.

Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

One of the best out there - especially for the $

Trump tariffs have nothing to do with not having access to this beautiful Scotch - despite that. the last review got most everything else right. This is a wonderful 12, and maybe one of the best there is for the price and age. I don’t really enjoy the smell or taste of peat, (which is a cult similar to the hippie IPA crowd in America) and for those that feel similarly there isn’t any smoke at all, really. Buy a bottle or three…it’s great stuff.

Ardbeg Anthology 'The Unicorn’s Tale' 14 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Second in the Anthology series, this is another epic malt from Ardbeg.

Second in the Anthology series, The Unicorn's Tale is even better than the first expression, The Harpy's Tale. This is a deeply complex single malt. The flavor hits immediately with a swirl of citrus, peat, vanilla, malt and a dry fruitiness. The finish is dry, with a smoky brine, with a sweet mouthfeel that sustains for quite some time. This is a stupendous sipping malt, which can be accompanied by some high percentage cacao dark chocolate or the always pleasing Walkers shortbread. Another excellent malt from Ardbeg.

The Macallan Harmony Collection Smooth Arabica Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Smooth is an Understatement!

I pick up a bottle of this in Istanbul International Airport! OMG this is some of the best scotch I have ever experience and my personal collection is close to 150 plus bottles of rare scotch's and bourbons from around the world

Talisker 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Going through the third bottle now... really smooth for 18 years, lifts me up

Lismore 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Good flavors. Spicy and sweet. Good value

Good tasting, spicey. sweet and flavorful. Easy sipping for novice. Good value for 18 years. Highly Recommended

The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Eh...can't taste anything tropical, not much flavor at all good for mixed drinks only. Maybe better than JW Red.

Caol Ila 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Liked this one. Has a sweet malty taste to it that pairs well with just the right amount of smoke. I am a fan of the bottle label as well. If you want to take a break from the peatier Ardbegs and Bruichladdichs, this is a good bottle to pick. Light abv makes it an easy sipper too, while retaining the mouthfeel. I wish it was cheaper though. This is a great contender with Kilchoman Machir Bay, which I liked a lot too but that brings more fruit to the front than Caol Ila 12, and some might prefer the warmer and more mature profile of this one.

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Year Old Heavily Peated

Great flavors...it's one of the best peaty single malt

One of my favorite drams, great tasting and peaty. This scotch has got a powerful flavor. If someone is new to Scotch might not like it...but I definitely keep buying it...

Deanston 15 Year Old Organic Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Maybe the best bargain out there. I keep getting this at less$ than Deanston 12. Good ABV.

Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Solera Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I sampled this drink at a friend's house and immediately liked it. I went home and ordered it. It has not disappointed me. I take a shot about every other night for relaxation. Highly recommend!!! I'll order another bottle soon!

GlenAllachie 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

good, but need to adjust for bottle being 700ml

a good whisky, but the bottle is 700ml...not 750ml as advertised

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I'm primarily used to drinking smokey, mossy Islas - they're my absolute favorite. This is a little something different, though - it's a Highland Single Malt and, when following a brandy, it tastes like chocolate. I didn't note the chocolate qualities immediately upon the first sip, but if you drink a brandy first and follow it with one of these? The chocolate notes become much more apparnet.

The Balvenie 30 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Good scotch whiskey but I bought this a few years ago and paid $1259 for it. Talk about your inflation.

Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Nose defects mostly smoke with very little alcohol. Same components present on tongue with an addition of what I suspect is barley grain. The gran taste becomes stronger on th palette. It blends beautifully with the smoke flavor.. The alcohol has almost disappeared. For me the best thing about this bottle is the aftertaste

Lagavulin Offerman Edition 11 Year Old Charred Oak Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Scotch that will make you LOVE Scotch

Have tried various brands over the years, due to my best friend's love of scotch, but have never shared his enjoyment.... until now. From the distinctive smell when you open the bottle, to the smooth hints of flavor that leave no aftertaste, this has become one of my must-have bottles.

Glenmorangie The Lasanta 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. My favorite Glenmorangie so far. It has fruity notes, definitely orange, with caramel/butterscotch and a little spice and hint of wood. The 86 proof helps the flavors come through. It has a silky smooth mouth feel and a nice lingering finish. One of the best scotches I've had at this price point... or actually at any price.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

Was just a lovely drink would recommend to anyone

The Macallan Terra Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Can be had cheaper overseas

Part of the 4 bottle Macallen Travelers set along with Quest, Lumina and Enigma. This Whisky has a nice woody type flavor to it that I really enjoyed.

Glenfiddich Grand Yozakura 29 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Expensive but delicious

I had a number of pours of this scotch at its debut event. Of everything that was being poured that evening I believe the 23-year-old was my favorite (and a fraction of the cost). This is a special scotch indeed and this is the best price I have seen for it it, also has a beautiful presentation. If you have the means, this is a great addition.

Glen Scotia 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Camplbelltown at it's best

This region was once know as the capital of Scotch. Now only about 3 distilleries remain on the peninsula and Glen Scotia is excellent. It has a well rounded flavors with fruits and a carmel flavor with a touch of oak. Very smooth finish, with a touch of spic.

The Macallan Distil Your World New York Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Mr. Whiskey 1/25/24

I’d rather drink prison wine…

Mortlach 12 Year "The Wee Witchie" Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Excellent for this price range.

I wish it was 96 proof like the typo on the website says.

Glengoyne 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

We looked forward to trying this whisky. After tasting it several times, we found it to be woody and musty. We swirled the whisky and discovered a weak smell of oranges and pineapples. We will not purchase this whisky again. There are far better choices.

The Glen Grant 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This is a very enjoyable, bright, and delicious whisky!

Naked Malt Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

5 star indeed...A mix of Highland Park, Mccallan and Glenrothes in one bottle...can't beat it at this pricepoint.

Glenfarclas 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

never expected this to have as much flavor and depth for the value!

Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I am not quite sure how they did it, but this is sweet and dry simultaneously. The sweetness reigns within the finish. It’s very drinkable, smooth and unique. I am not a huge fan, but would expect bourbon drinkers may enjoy.

Lagavulin 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This Lagavulin 8 could be called Lagavulin Light. It is a brighter version of its senior sibling. The nose is crisp on this and the smoke finish is a little bit softer, but still great. Lagavulin makes an excellent product. Great product and worth a try!

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

Was there a bad batch of this whiskey in 2023? If so, I got one of the bottles spent $130. Absolutely vile, tasting and smelling the worst spirits I’ve ever had. not able to drink a very. Alcohol and vinegar smell only no flavors no sweetness nothing they reviews all brag about. I was very disappointed . i’ve had cheap rum and whiskey on cruise ships for free that tasted better. Stick with the gin, that is wonderful

Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Smooth deep flavors, pure gold.

This is my favorite scotch but is hard to find except here at Caskers. Worth the price but I am very selective of who I share with because I want it all to myself.

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Year Old Heavily Peated

Nice flavor nicely Peated

Excellent taste nice Smokey flavor. Excellent quality

Talisker Storm Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Geoffrey 11/22/23

Enough peat but also some spice and fruits under that. This is one of my go to scotches. Have enjoyed several bottles.

Ledaig 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

catfishcounts 11/14/23

My first bottle of Ledaig 10. More of an earthy peat, lighter on the smoke. It's kind of a creamy, very slightly savory. First encounter of a creamy peat, nothing like Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Caol Ila or Port Charlotte. Haven't quite finished it yet. Look forward to getting to know it better.

The Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Tomcatwilli 11/10/23

An amazing base single malt,

Versatile, smooth and you can’t beat the price on here

Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

By far my favorite Glen

Love the bourbon and fruity flavors of this Glen 14. I have been drinking Scotch for 20+ years and this is my go-to.

The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I picked up a bottle to give it a try. Obviously a very affordable price from a very high quality distillery. It provides a small taste of that great Glenlivet flavor. If you can afford it, I would recommend spending a little more for the Glenlivet 12. If you can’t afford it, this will still give you a nice little dram before bed.

Glenfiddich 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Better Options Available

I picked up a bottle at my local liquor store. Nothing really special or unique about it that I can share. To be fair I did not notice the bourbon barrel description before purchasing. I like some bourbons, but I don’t typically pursue them. I hope to try a different Glenfiddich soon to see if this was maybe just a poor selection on my part.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This has a little bit of that signature Glenlivet flavor, but not nearly as smooth as its older siblings. It’s a great daily dram for the price though!

The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I received this excellent Scotch as a birthday gift earlier this year. Glenlivet 18 has a great distinctive taste and is by far one of the smoothest finishes I’ve ever experienced. High quality product that is worthy of any special celebration. I definitely recommend it.

Lagavulin 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Beware new Scotch drinkers, this is the epitome of peat smoked Scotch. As a result, you may initially find it overwhelming if you’ve never had it. However, all those who have grown to appreciate that smoky finish know that this is THE ONE. It’s a high quality product that is thoroughly enjoyable. One of my top 3 favorites so far and I don’t think that’ll ever change.

Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I found one of these while vacationing down in Myrtle Beach this summer. This younger version is a little more wild than the 18, but in a good way! It burns much longer, it’s spicy spicy up front, and has that great mild smoke. I reiterate in a good way! Great value for the price point. One of my go to’s for my daily night cap because it’s more affordable than others. Love me some Highland Park.

Highland Park 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

After an excellent steak dinner I noticed this whiskey on the menu and thought I’d give it a try. I’ve had good bourbons here and there over the years, but this was my first scotch. That first sip was an experience in itself. At first a mild spicy note that then transitioned to a mild peat smoke finish and finished with a delightful warmth. Instantly I became hooked. This Scotch started me on a very enjoyable tasting journey that I’m still on. I have since tried and enjoyed many others, but this still ranks as one of my all time favorites. Just a downright excellent product. If you can afford it, put it on your shelf.

Oban 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Tried this for the first time a few weeks ago. My first thought was wow, this is really only a 14 year!?! Flavorful and the smooth finish is exceptional, I drink scotch neat at room temperature. I think this is on par with some older non-peated scotches I’ve tried.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

Grandmother 10/27/23

This will definitely cause a glow in your throat but not the good kind. You will need to add ice to dilute enough to make it palatable.

Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve Scotch Whisky

I will say that I feel that J/W Gold is A very smooth J/W Whisky when I and some of my guests have done A side by side with J/W blue , Red , Green , And Gold We felt that the Gold was as smooth as J/W blue but had A very nice stronger flavor . Although I still enjoy the Blue the gold is my go to Whisky !

The Famous Grouse Winter Reserve Scotch Whisky

Sweet nose with a bit of alcohol. Mild sweet creamy flavor touch of heat on the finish. Easy sipper. All ready put another bottle in my basket. Will be trying the other Famous Grouse offerings.
