Bushmills 10, 40% – Imported by F.lli Ramazzotti
A curveball. This bottling of Bushmills 10 is one from the 1990s, if my information is correct. That also means that the distillate is from the 1980s at the latest. Therefore it should be quite a ways different than current … Continue reading

Irish Single Malt, 14yo, 2000-2015, 51.5% – The Nectar of the Daily Drams

Irish Single Malt, 12yo, 2002-2015, 52.9% – The Nectar of the Daily Drams
Irish Whiskey is hot these days. The focus lies mostly on the 1988-1993 era for some reason, but occasionally there’s something else popping up too. That’s quite nice since the aforementioned time frame can get pretty expensive now it’s becoming … Continue reading
