Harry's Picks


Ardbeg Anthology 14 Years – The Unicorn’s Tale (46%, OB, 2024)  Scotland

Tasting Notes: Nose: Very coastal and undeniably peaty (duh). A few drops of iodine, some fresh seaweed and some burnt rubber as well. Initially chargrilled lemon peel as well, as well as lemon balm, but then also some sweet tropical influences. Think guava, mango, and the like. The peat evolves into more elegant wood smoke, alongside tinges of sandalwood. Taste: Slightly thinner than I’d like. Some medicinal peat, as well as grilled fennel. There’s a touch of smoked kiwi, tinned peaches and more of those lemons as well. Also a nice salinity, some aniseed and soot, accompanied by roasted malts. Finish: Medium length. A good amount of lingering wood smoke. Slightly dry. Cloves. Somewhat medicinal.

Price: $284.99

INDRI Single Malt Indian Whisky  INDIA

Tasting Notes: The magic of the marriage of three different wood casks come to its splendour when our malts are matured in ex-bourbon, ex-french wine and ex-sherry casks. It embellishes our malt with the finest shade of Amber, whiff of caramelized pineapple, vanilla, hints of black tea, raisins & citrus and subtle nuttiness. The smoothness and flavour linger long after the glass has been put aside. Trini, The three wood was conceptualised based on the individual contribution of each wood without overshadowing the original whisky profile which is light fruity with sweet vanilla and spice, a subtle nuttiness to chew on with a medium to reasonably long finish. Nose: Gentle and mellow on the nose. Hints of black tea, caramelised pineapple with a whiff of oak comes forward, followed by vanilla and honey from the bourbon oak and traces of spiced tannins from the European oak, finally topped up with vinous raisin and sweet sherry notes. Palate: Elegant richness, smooth and warm on the sides of the mouth. Gentle spice and woody characteristics. Finish: A subtle and balanced finish, each flavour compliments the other without dominating each other. A smooth and long after taste with sweet fruity flavours coming up from the warmth of the throat, lingering long after
