Simple Explanation of Whisky Scoring/whisky terms
As recorded from many of my references and experiences, most will be familiar with my comments regarding scoring, anyway here’s my thought, in approximation:
0-50 absolutely dreadful should not be bottled as whisky
51-65 shocking stuff , throw out
66-70 just drinkable
71-75 lowest grade of acceptably drinkable
76-80 average quite pleasant with occasional faults
81-85 good
86-90 excellent
91-93 brilliant examples without any faults
94-96 without fault, quality gold medal stuff
97-100 something I have yet to experience
This is only a guide as you should score according to your personal assessment.
My Condensed List
0-65 throw out
66-75 can be drunk questionably
76-85 recommend
86-93 you can brag about this lot
94-100 brilliant
