Scotch Ratings and Reviews

Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition Scotch Whisky

WILLIAM 9/19/23

A sweet front with a nice spicy finish.

Deanston 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Christian 8/11/23

After seeing Ralfy review Deanston 12 on his YouTube channel and giving it such a good Malt Mark I knew I had to snag me a bottle. Unchillfiltered. Natural colour. Truly a fantastic Single Malt.

Arran 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This is a fantastic scotch for the price. Unchillfiltered. Natural color. You're getting what you pay for no question about it. Thanks to Ralfy on YouTube for introducing this lovely malt to me. Cheers friends

Arran 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Incredible price for what you get. This is a delightful scotch!

Ardbeg BizarreBQ Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Good gimmicky summer treat but not a great value

I knew this was a gimmicky product when I purchased it. I had read the reviews and hoped that they were spot on. I paid the $90 list price and I don't regret it. I found the "meaty" flavor I read about in the review fairly muted, the smoke was more faint than I anticipated, and I would have liked a little more "bite" to this whiskey. Not a bad whiskey to try while it's here, but only if you can find it at list.

Highland Park Twisted Tattoo 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

RichnPoor 6/12/23

A Nice Change of Pace

I love Highland and Speyside single malts. This one has a hint of something (maybe from the bourbon casks?), which is why it's a good change of pace from the smoother ones. Discovered it in a scotch tasting in Scotland. Can't by it in a retail store, so Casker's was a big help to source it and have it shipped.

Compass Box Hedonism Scotch Whisky

Compass Box Hedonism is a Real Treat

I bought this bottle after it was recommended to me from a friend. I am so glad I took that advice. Compass Box already has good reviews for some other scotches (like "Spice Tree"), but boy does "Hedonism" really hit the spot. It's awesome to sip it all on its own without mixing it with other stuff. The flavor is one of those that can be appreciated neat. You don't even need that little splash of water that some whiskies need to "open up the flavors." It's delicious just as it is. All that being said, I have tried it in a few mixed drinks and it is just delightful. 5 stars in every category for this one. Well worth the money.

Kilchoman Sanaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Complex taste combines sweet fruit with just enough peat to keep it interesting

Arran 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Doesn't really stand out

It's not that this expression is unpleasant in any way; It's just kind of boring. I found the nose very medicinal. The palate had the predictable citrus notes with a hint of cinnamon at the beginning of an oaky finish. There's others in this price range I would choose instead.

Longmorn 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I have quite a few bottles and this one is at the top of my list.

The Glenrothes 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Great scotch for the price

I really enjoyed this one. It is on the sweeter side; very smooth with a long, lightly spicy finish.

The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A favorite that costs significantly less than my others favorites. An unbelievable value. I should probably stock up in case they come to their senses and raise the price.

Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition 2020 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

One of my favorite scotch whiskies

More flavorful than their regular version so it stands up to diluting better. Extremely smooth and almost too drinkable. Quite a bit more expensive than their regular 15 year single malt unfortunately.

The Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

My second favorite scotch whiskey

Excellent flavor from a french oak cask at a good price. The only other scotch whiskeys I enjoy as much are distiller editions that are significantly more expensive.

Oban Distillers Edition 2022 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

My favorite scotch whiskey

Being finished in casks that formerly held sherry adds just the right amount of additional flavor. I try to spend less than $100 for scotch, but this is worth paying slightly more. I presently have two bottles so that I won’t run out. I’m also fond of Dalwhinnies distillers edition which is a little milder tasting, extremely smooth and almost too drinkable.

DS Tayman 12 Year Old Linkwood 2008 Second Edition

Fabulous Speyside Malt

Linkwood 12 is a delicious expression incorporating all the best features of a Speyside Malt. DS Tayman did a fabulous job bottling this expression and I cannot recommend it too highly at a wonderful price. I have bought 4 bottles and it’s elegant flavorful taste is the very best

Glen Moray Chardonnay Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Not their best offering

Did not suit my taste, but I appreciate the effort. Am trying all of their varieties.

Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie Unpeated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I found this single malt a bit harsh. It was not as smooth as I have become accustomed to other single malts. I drink mine neat, and this particular single malt might best be mixed with something, although I'm not sure what.

Glen Scotia 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

One of the better scotch's I've had at this price

good lightly peated scotch that is exceptionally smooth and warm without overpowering. Great flavor. Will be keeping on hand

McClelland's Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Black Campbell 2/26/23

Inexpensive, but decent

This is usually running about $30 in my local stores, and it's a solidly good cheap dram. There's a bit of peat and a hi t a spice.

Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg! Committee Release 2020 Scotch Whisky

An outstanding single malt with the peat level to please all Islay enthusiasts. Grab one while you can and enjoy.

Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Unique Solera Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Great straight up or on the rocks

Buchanan's Special Reserve 18 Year Old Scotch Whisky

I don't like a scotch that has too much of that peaty taste. And this one doesn't. It just tastes like a smooth whiskey with just the right amount of bite. Light flavor notes of cream and caramel. Very very nice for sipping. Just skyrocketed into one of my top 5 favs, along with Dewar's 15 and Hibiki.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

Worst Swill Ever Labeled as Scotch

I saw the great reviews while shopping among my usual favs (Royal Salute 21, Dewars Double Double 32, etc).

Those MUST be fake! This stuff is a slsp in the face to ANY decent dram aficionado. No body, flavor, smoke, or any of the make-believe characteristics you read about in the snob taster notes. It is light in color, burns like this morning’s grain, and hurts your wallet like a fake Picaso. I’m warning anyone else before they fall into the same pothole I did. I even spent my reward points! What a waste. I will not trust anymore reviews here again - they are as bad as Amazon.

Lagavulin 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

My personal favorite of any and all readily available scotch.
The tasting notes combine like a symphony. Nothing too overpowering, everything complimenting each aspect of this fine Islay. It’s elegant. Superb.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

purchased this as a gift

I purchased this as a gift for my son in law. His family is from Scotland. They liked it! His father who is very, very, very picky loved it! So I can highly recommend it!

Highland Park 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ron Heinrich 1/28/23

Glenfarclas 105 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Good Whisky. I enjoy drinking it every time I have it.

Dewar's Double Double 32 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Its masterfully smooth - just too expensive

When I think scotch - I want a rich complex bouquet of flavors that I can sip neat, with a splash, or a few rocks.

The arsenal of top shelf winners are this one, the Royal Salute 21 YO by Chivas, and perhaps the Dewars double-double 27 YO.

But these Dewar Double-Doubles should be called “half-halves”. The 375 ml diamond-shaped bottles are just too little for too much. It’s damn good scotch, but in a half-bottle, at twice the price - I just can’t do it.

The Royal Salute may be pricey too - but at least its in a 750ml bottle, and it is also great to drink and baby hiny smooth.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

Outlander got me started on brown liquor

I bought this initially as a gift for a friend who turned me onto Outlander. They insisted I try it with them. I had always felt scotch tasted like liquid fire but I knew something was different with my first sip is Sassanach. Now, have my taste buds matured or is this scotch this good? Votes are still out. But now having tried several other recommended scotches, whiskeys and bourbons, I can say unequivocally that Sassanach is my favorite hands down. It’s smooth, low on the peat (I’m guessing that’s the mossy taste others have) and not sweet. Just don’t let me have more than two or I might fight ya.

The Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I have added this to my list of favorites. This is one of the few I have bought repeatedly.

Mackinlay's Shackleton Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

I heard about Shackleton from the Legal Vices youtube channel. After how he explained the story and the notes of the liquor, I had to order it! Surprisingly hard to find so I'm extremely grateful to Caskets for carrying it. Shackleton's has quickly become my favorite (sorry Jameson!) and I'm ordering more ASAP.

Oban 18 Year Old Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Very smooth & just goes great with good food!

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

Awesome peated scotch

I love it! :)

Naked Malt Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Bought naked malt scotch whisky

I bought this item for my oldest son who likes scotch. I was unsure if this was the type he liked so I took a chance and bought it . Turns out, he really enjoyed it. He tasted it when it arrived, and then invited his friends over to help celebrate his birthday.
I would highly recommend this item if you are a scotch fan, and I will probably buy this again. The price , quality, value are all a 5 star for me.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

This one came highly recommended and now I know why. Very nice blend indeed! I too can now highly recommend.

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

The Best Scotch If You Like Them Peaty

My wife bought me this a a couple of years ago and I just got my second bottle. Very peaty and smokey. Probably the best scotch I have ever had. Made me a big fan of Lagavulin. A must have for your collection. Your scotch loving friends will thank you for sharing.

Smokehead Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I loved this but not for the weak of heart.

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

My son and I bought this to sip with steak or while enjoying a cigar. My review? Awesome!

Lismore 21 Year Old

Ride the smooth vanilla waves in this one!

The Macallan Lalique 62 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Macallan Lalique 62 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Nicholas 10/27/22

Youd be hard pressed to find a better scotch at this price point. Incredible value. Buying one for each family member this christmas. If you're looking for a secret santa gift, look no further. Thanks Caskers!

Glen Moray 25 Year Old Port Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This was so good. I am in mourning that I cant find any more. I am down to last two bottles.

GlenDronach 12 Year Old Original Scotch Whisky

Viking Dust 6/8/22

One of my favorites of all time

It's up there with Oban 14. Fantastic if you love Single Malts with Sherry casked finishes.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

Avery nice blended scotch

This is a very balanced, flavorful scotch. It isn’t too smokey for those that do not like Islay scotch, but it does have some nice, smokey tones. It isn’t overly sweet. Its just a very nice whisky to enjoy. The price is a bit high for. Blended scotch, and that may keep it from being a regular go-to whisky, but its well worth buying a bottle to enjoy.

Dimple Pinch 15 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Most underrated whiskey on the market, pleasant nose and nearly no burn on the way down. I feel that if it was entered into the right category, it could become the next pappy van winkle. Well worth the money, wish I could find it on store shelves.

The Glenlivet Archive 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Disappointing and overpriced.

"Rich, luxurious aroma of pine, raisins and sandalwood. Notes of brown sugar, walnuts and honey on the palate, that are well-complemented by notes of dried fruits, Christmas cake and baking spices. Finish is long and sweet, with a hint of chewy leather, ginger and oak". Quite a list of 'tastes' that are not apparent nor discernible. Fruit, Christmas Cake and spices, walnuts, brown sugar, pine, honey, raisins, sandalwood, ginger, oak and a 'hint' of chewy leather. Snobbish trash talk for all the hints I gather is chewy leather with the typical Scotch aroma predominant. I will say it is smooth and the finish does linger a bit and that's the best I can do.. I'm not new to Scotch Whiskey blended or single malt and I've been imbibing for over 60 years. Whiskey is NOT wine. Trying to give it all these superlatives like a well aged bottle of vintage wine is an exercise in futility. I had my first bottle of Glenlivet 12 year old, back in '75. The taste has never been the same since. Back then, Single Malts were not the 'in' thing to drink and describing all the 'hints' of flavors contained therein would have made whiskey drinkers laugh. Quality, to my mind and taste has gone down hill due to mass production and demand. I was expecting something very special with this 21 year old Scotch. It's not much different then an ordinary bottle of 12 year old. In short, if you are thinking of spending 25 thousand dollars for a bottle of 50 year old, I suggest you demand a wee dram prior to your purchase.

The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky

A little bit of peat, a little bit of smoke, and lots of complex flavor. Look, I am not the guy who can tell you, "....this has notes of vanilla, apricot and fresh cherries". I simply lack the ability to differentiate flavors like some people can. What I can tell you is this is a very nice whisky. It has a light body and a very pleasing aftertaste. A friend of mine said it was "too sweet" for his tastes, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I do believe the price is a little high, but that didn't keep me from ordering two more bottles.

Enjoy!

The Macallan Double Cask Gold Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Not one of their best expressions !

I have enjoyed every Macallan whisky that I have ever tasted besides this one. Certainly does not taste like Macallan whiskey!! I honestly can't think of a beginner or experienced whisky drinker who would actually enjoy this dram !!

Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Very good: a whisky with special qualities. a solid, well-made whisky. people should give this baby a try
