Three Year Old Deluxe, 49.2% – Compass Box

Clynelish 1997-2014, 17yo, 52.5% – The Whisky Cask for Dutch Whisky Society
Clynelish from 1997! Somehow that’s an epic year for Clynelish. Unfortunately I don’t know why it is that some years work so very well for some distilleries (1997 for Clynelish, 1995 for Bowmore, 1981 for Lochside, 1978 for Port Ellen, … Continue reading

Two Clynelishes from the mid-nineties
Ah, Clynelish. Another one of these Diageo distilleries that doesn’t release a lot under their own name (except for the great 14 year old and Distiller’s Edition). Of course, there is the occasional Select Reserve from 2014 and 2015, but … Continue reading

Clynelish 10yo, 2003-2014, 60.5% – SMWS (26.98, Lively as an Electric Acrobat)
I have absolutely no idea what they mean with a name like “Lively as an Electric Acrobat” or how the SMWS thinks that works for marketing purposes. Then again, they are a members-only club which means they don’t have to … Continue reading

Clynelish 1997-2017, 55.8% – Archives (Fishes of Samoa)
This was THE bottling for The Whiskybase Gathering last November. For some reason I decided not to go in 2016, the first time it was held. I decided to correct that last November and had a blast. The festival itself … Continue reading

Two Clynelishes from 1991 by The Ultimate
Some months ago I decided to open some Clynelish bottles from my collection and bottle share them. Of the four bottles opened, two are from The Ultimate, a Dutch independent bottler that’s been bottling for years. The two bottles were … Continue reading

Clynelish 1996-2013, 46% – Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice
Ooooh! A decently aged Clynelish! Or at least, that’s what I thought when I saw this in a tasting line-up last September (I’m behind, I know it). It was slightly less aged when I found out it had been bottled … Continue reading

Clynelish 1995-2014, 19yo, 52.7% – Whisky-Fässle
So this post has been long in the making. I started typing out the tasting notes almost a week ago, with the idea to finish it soon after. You know, during some down time at work, or at the latest after … Continue reading

Hielander Whisky Festival 2016
Yesterday I went to another awesome session of the Hielander Whisky Festival in Alkmaar. I took some pictures, but obviously not of everything I tried. I am far too forgetful for that, and I also don’t want to disclose my … Continue reading
