I'll set mine..
Just about any Islay malt with an age statement - 10
Famous Grouse - 5
Johnnie walker - 2

My Sloe Gin last year -10
My Damson vodka -7
My gins oscillate from 2 to 7

I didn't do much new in 2018 apart from essences, which is where this forum was when it started .
Prestige Bootleg Baileys (Irish Cream) gets only a 9 because of the need of a daily shake.
The rest of their stuff varies between 5 and 7 for me.
Beware their Jamaica Rum, and maybe halve the concentrate?
Although I cut back on all of them.

For those pondering the phrase "age Statement" , Scotch is now in such high demand worldwide that distilleries are now bottling and selling malt far short of the traditional 10 years in a cask.
You really can taste the difference.

Yes. You really can taste the difference.

I did safety work in Glenmorangie distillery over 50 years ago. It don’t taste the same today.

Ralfy Mitchell has made it his policy to no longer review whiskies without an age statement. I now rarely purchase whisky without an age statement or bottled at 40 ABV. I have to agree that many whiskies even with an age statement are not what they where even ten years ago.

Why does all this make the phrase "selling out" come to mind?
