20ml freshly squeezed lemon juice

A delightful barrel fermented Chardonnay from this family producer that offers ridiculously good value for money

A lovely inexpensive red from Richard Hamilton

It has delicious spicy aromas

but there are some vineyards where the grapes don't wear grand company names

Caol Ila Private Collection 2001 Hermitage Wood Finish from Gordon & Macphail 70cl Bisol 20ml freshly squeezed lemon juiceWow the wine casking of this lovely Caol Ila really makes the whisky sing. A pungent medicinal aroma with bonfires, smoked oatcakes and then some dark berry fruit emerges. The palate has a sweetness up front, lovely medicinal notes and then a honey flavour. Spice on the back end. People: Urquart Family
