Our System- 0 - 49 Unquestionably terrible! Should be stored in industrial drums.

- 70 - 74 Drinkable but seriously flawed.
- 75 - 79 Drinkable but somewhat flawed.
- 80 - 84 Enjoyable, mostly unflawed, some character
- 85 - 89 Delicious, unflawed, robust character

- 95 - 99 Superstar Whisky
- 100 “The best thing I ever put in my mouth!"
M Jackson’s Scoring System- 50's - These in all fairness were probably not meant to be bottled as a single malt. Lacking balance and character
- 60's - Suggest enjoyable but unexceptional malt
- 70's - Anything in 70’s especially beyond 75 is well worth tasting
- 80's - Distinctive and exceptional
- 90's - The truly great malts
Alternative Scoring System (Jim Murray) - 0 -50 Nothing short of absolutely diabolical.
- 51-64 Nasty and well worth avoiding.
- 65-69 Very unimpressive indeed.
- 70-74 Usually drinkable but do not expect the earth to move.
- 75-79 Average and usually pleasant though sometimes flawed.
- 80-84 Good whisky worth trying.
- 85-89 Very good to excellent whisky definitely worth buying.
- 90-93 Brilliant.
- 94-97 Superstar whisky that gives us all a reason to live.
- 98-100 Better than anything I have ever tasted!
