Here's a brief introduction to the 10 whiskies:
Laphroaig 10 YO Single Malt Scotch
Alcohol: 40% ABV, origin: Islay, Scotland, international average price: $58
From the Laphroaig distillery on isle of Islay, with a peat value of up to 45 ppm, aged in bourbon barrels, the wine is known for its strong smoky taste, accompanied by a hint of seaweed, brine, iodine, asphalt, Band-Aids, black pepper, stuffed peat, vanilla, caramel, sweet oak and surprising sweetness, the wine is full-bodied and has a long aftertaste, truly embodying the typical characteristics of Laforg. He has won numerous awards including gold medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, best Scottish Single Malt Whisky for 10 years and below in the 2019 Whisky Bible.
Highland Park 12 YO Single Malt Scotch
ABV: 40% ABV, Origin: Scottish Islands (Orkney Islands), international average price: $55
From highland park in the Orkney Islands, the wine is ripened in European and American shelly seasoned oak barrels and is spicy and plump, full of sun-kissed Seville oranges and rich fruitcakes, as well as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; melted heather honey can be found in the light smoke rich in heather root and heather flowers, which is extremely tempting.
The late whisky master Michael Jackson once hailed The Highland Knight's flavor as "the natural winner of pure wheat whisky" and gave it a very high rating of 90 points; Jim Murray, author of the Whisky Bible, commented: "Beyond the level, almost near-perfect bottle of single malt whisky".
8. Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt
AbV: 40% ABV, Origin: Scotland, International Average Price: $33
Launched in 2005, William Grant & Sons was originally a blend of three malt whiskies, Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie, before being transferred to fusion vats for a 3-month finish. In recent years, due to the increasing popularity of single malt whiskies, the supply of original wines has been insufficient, and the wine has sometimes been mixed with malt whiskies of other unknown sources. But overall, it's a drink that any whisky lover is worth drinking. The smell is accompanied by fennel aromas, with distinct winter spices, a creamy fullness on the palate, and finally spicy oak and mint notes. He won the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Oban 14 YO Single Malt Scotch
ABV: 43% ABV, Origin: Scottish Highlands, International Average Price: $81
The Oban distillery from the West Highlands is a complex and balanced whisky that falls somewhere between the rough peat flavor of Islay and the harmonious roundness of the Highlands. With cute sweet toffee and sticky pudding scents, the smoke is subtle and the aromas of caramelized pineapple, plantain, lychee, and orange are mixed with surprising tropical fruits. The entrance is like a large piece of cream on the tongue, followed by canned fruit cocktails, pineapples, oranges and lychees, sherry-like almonds and lannis flavors appear in the middle of the taste buds, accompanied by some crunchy sea salt, sweet and hearty, with an aftertaste like lemon cider or cream cheese.
One of the oldest and smallest Scotch whisky distilleries, Auburn is like a small gem that, along with Dalwhinnie, Talisker, Cragganmore, Lagavulin and Glenkinchie, is known as one of the six classic malts.
6. Caol Ila 12 YO Single Malt Scotch
Alcohol: 43% ABV, Origin: Islay, Scotland, International Average Price: $67
From Caol Ila, the largest winery in Islay, it is the mystery of Johnnie Walker and other blended whiskies becoming more complex and balanced, with 96% of production dedicated to them. Made from malt with a peat value of 35 PPM, the wine is straw-coloured, with a fresh peat flavor, seaweed, slightly sweet, beautiful and smooth in the mouth, incredibly complex, greasy and exhilarating, and the taste reaches all parts of the taste buds without appearing aggressive, giving a light feeling. Phenolic citrus, long aftertaste, with a pronounced smoky taste.
When you get used to islet of Islay's heavy peat, complex, slightly salty, green fruits and smooth texture, it is even more extraordinary, and it is a Scotch whisky worth tasting for all whisky lovers.
5. Robin 12 YO Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
AbV: 40% ABV, Origin: Ireland, International Average Price: $66
The Robin was specially launched by Middleton for wine and spirits dealer W&a Gilbey. The owner of W&a Gilbey is an avid ornithologist who is very fond of robins because its color is similar to the color of whisky aged in sherry barrels. The wine began in 1912, but was discontinued in the mid-1980s and revived in 1991.
Made from malt and ungentured barley, the wine is distilled three times by a traditional copper pot still, and matured into Spanish Oloroso sherry and bourbon barrels, non-condensing and filtered, with complex spicy and fruity aromas, and a pronounced aroma of roasted wood. Rich in flavor and complex in structure, a harmonious balance of spicy, creamy, fruit, sherry and toast. The aftertaste is long and satisfying, and the complex flavor lingers on the taste buds. He scored Whisky Advocate 96 points and was named "Irish Whisky of the Year" at the 2013 Irish Whisky Awards.
4. Talisker 10 YO Single Malt Scotch
ABV: 45.8% ABV, origin: Scottish Isle of Islands (Isle of Skye), international average price: $61
From the Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye, peat has a peat value of 15-25 PPM and has a slight smoky taste with hints of spices and salt. The aroma gives way to flavors of smoked meat, black pepper, cloves, honey, oak and massa, ultimately bringing a slight sweetness and a long aftertaste. He won a double gold medal at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was named "Editor's Choice" by Whiskey Magazine. In addition, it was named "Best Buy" by Wine Lovers. The late whisky master Michael Jackson, who has always been very rigorous in scoring, gave a very high rating of 90 points.
3. Ardbeg 10 YO Single Malt Scotch
AbV: 46% ABV, Origin: Islay, Scotland, International Average Price: $59
Ardbeg from the islet of Islay, using malt with a peat value of 50-55 PPM as raw materials, in addition to the easily recognizable peat and sea breeze, you can also taste the delicate wheat aroma and the natural sweetness of oak barrels; although the wine is coarse, the smell is calm and fresh, accompanied by fruit aromas, even the floral aroma is also contained. The thick peat smoke smells of intact and delicate structure, with a light mint flavor and a rounded aftertaste. Winner of the World's Best Whisky of the Year in the 2008 Whisky Bible, it's an entry-level wine for God-like existence.
2. Ardbeg Uigeadail Single Malt Scotch
ABV: 54.2% ABV, Origin: Islay, Scotland, International Average Price: $84
The name "Uigeadail" comes from Lake Uganda (Uigeadail), which is still the only source of pure water for the Abbey Distillery. It means "dark land" in Gaelic – it has deep peat seams. Made from malt with a peat value of 50 ppm, matured in bourbon and sherry barrels, bourbon barrels add honey oak, cinnamon and baked spices to whisky, while sherry barrels add dried fruit, berries, figs and caramelized oranges to whisky, making it one of the most popular wines in the Abbe core range. He won the 2011 and 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Awards, with a 95 points for Whisky Advocate, and became the World's Best Whisky of the Year in the Whisky Bible with a score of 97.5.
1. Lagavulin 16 YO Single Malt Scotch
Alcohol: 43% ABV, origin: Islay, Scotland, international average price: $93
Islay Isle of Ere is the temple of the peat whisky world, and 16 years of LeGawarin contains the essence of Islay malt whisky. Although the distillery still has many wines, it is recognized that 16 years is its flagship wine. It has everything a peat whisky loves, using malt with a peat value of 35 PPM as raw material, salty marine scents and some seaweed and iodine, but on the peat surface there is an elegant balance of fruit sweetness, vanilla and caramel and oak notes.
The late whisky master Michael Jackson gave a rare high score of 95 and gave it a "bear-hugging warmth" rating.
