Double distilled in traditional pot stills, Locke’s 8 Year Old is made from Irish whiskies aged between eight and ten years. Smooth, medium-bodied with lots of pot still character, it’s nicely rounded with sweet, malty, fruity notes and spicy oak. Vanilla and a touch of peat (ten per cent of the malt used was peated) make it very tasty indeed. Score: 91 (Margaret Swaine, WineAlign.com, Mar 2013)
