Here are five whiskies from Grindlay
Dalriada Blended Scotch Whisky 40%
Dominated by grain, quite perfumy. Will appeal to Bowmore fans that doesn't like peat. After a nit the perfumyness gets a bit soapy. Easy drinking and this kind of flavour could appeal to some
I like that this below 25£ blend is natural colour
Rating 77/100
The 4 remaining bottles are all single cask releases and natural strength
Ben Nevis 1997 52.6%
I also find this a bit perfumy, but not soapy. I also get the burned hair sense I often pick up in Ben Nevis, but for this bottling it's quite faint. That said this is very drinkable and fans would describe this as a whisky with character. The perfumnyess get's a tad bit too much for me at the end of the dram
Rating 82/100
Glentauchers 1996 54.5%
A full bodied, flavourful malt, but also on the delicate side fruity side, with a nutty finish
Rating 85/100
Dailuaine 1996 57%
Very nice and delicate whisky. The nose is how you wish your next whisky is going to smell. It got the oldstyle bubblegum thing, that I so rarely see these days. Very nice
Rating 89/100
Craigellachie 2006 64.1%
Strong. Kinda grainy. A bit newmakey, which appears as a bit of sourness. For the lovers of young malts
Rating 78/100
