Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Balmenach 18

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: The Maltman

ABV: 43%

Score: 89 Points

This comes from an ex-bourbon cask, and while malty, the nose has notes of mild clove, nutmeg, and linseed oil. The taste is spicy with a subtle oiliness underneath and notes of coriander, nutmeg, linseed oil, and lemon peel. The finish is citrusy and long with lemony notes that stick to the tongue with a good mouthfeel. Interesting.
