Langatun 2016 / 6 Year Old / Madeira Cask Finish Swiss Whisky

Mei-Lin Wu — Swiss whisky is legit

9/10

I keep telling people not to sleep on Swiss whisky and Langatun is exactly why. This Madeira finish is gorgeous — sticky toffee pudding, red wine gums, toasted oak. Drinks beautifully neat and the 49% ABV is the sweet spot. Yeah it's not cheap but quality rarely is. My favourite bottle I've opened this month.

Nils Bergman — Interesting but pricey

7/10

Nice whisky, no doubt. You get dark berries and a bit of nuttiness on the nose, and the Madeira finish adds a pleasant sweetness. But at close to £100 for a 6-year-old, I think you're paying a premium for the novelty factor. I'd want another year or two in that cask for this price.

Tomas Rivera — Madeira magic

8/10

The Madeira cask finish really makes this one stand out. Raisins, plum jam, and a hint of dark chocolate on the palate. I drink it neat with a few drops of water to open it up — at 49% it benefits from that. One of the better European single malts I've tried this year.

Daniel Torres — Expected more at this price

6/10

Look, it's fine. The Madeira influence gives some nice berry sweetness and the ABV is well integrated. But six years is still young and you can taste it — there's a slight roughness underneath. For £99 I can name a dozen Scotch single malts that deliver more complexity.

Alex Ramos — Lovely Swiss surprise

8/10

Picked this up on a whim and I'm genuinely impressed. The Madeira cask gives it this rich dried fruit and toffee thing that I wasn't expecting from a Swiss distillery. At nearly 50% ABV it's got real punch but stays smooth neat. Would happily buy again.

Yuki Nakamura — Solid but not a showstopper

7/10

Had this at a tasting and it's a well-made dram. The fruit notes from the Madeira cask are there but they don't blow you away. Good balance, decent length on the finish. It's a perfectly nice whisky that I'd enjoy a glass of but probably wouldn't rush to replace on the shelf.
