Glen Scotia 2005-2017, 58.2% – Distillery Only
This bottle I picked up after the awesome tour and tasting at the distillery almost two years ago. I then got home and saw my credit card bill and decided to bottle-share a significant part of the haul from Scotland, … Continue reading
Glen Scotia 15yo, 2001, Mashman’s Reserve, 58.2% – Distillery Only
As with most Distillery Only bottlings, you actually have to go to the distillery to pick it up. Which is yet another good reason to visit such a little piece of heaven on earth. I picked this one up at … Continue reading

Glen Scotia 2002-2015, 13yo, 58.1% – SMWS (93.67)
I got a sample of this in a share ages ago, and when selecting things to take with me on holiday for a bit of a drink at night, I grabbed it off the shelf finally. Contrary to previous years … Continue reading

My accidental blend…
Last week I blogged about Ardbeg and spontaneously comparing it to my ‘accidental blend’. This blending happening deserves a post of its own, which also is a bit of a ‘look at me fucking up’ post… I’ve embarrassed myself in … Continue reading

Some Ardbeg and some realizations

Glen Scotia, 2018
Around September last year I posted on Facebook, asking for tips for me and my friend FV to spend an afternoon and evening in Campbeltown. While I did get some way-too-obvious things, like Springbank and Cadenhead’s, I also got the … Continue reading

Bad-ass Whisky Night at De Whiskykoning #3
Last Friday it was time for the sort-of annual bad-ass whisky night at Whiskyslijterij De Koning in my old home town of Den Bosch. Man have I dropped a year’s salary there over the last decade… Anyway, the concept of … Continue reading
Glen Scotia 1991-2013, 46% – Wemyss Malts (Merchant’s Mahogany Chest)
I think Wemyss has taken lessons from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society based on how they name their whiskies. This ‘Merchant’s Mahogany Chest’ has a name based on the flavor of the whisky. So, I expect deep and woody flavors … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 14: Glen Scotia 13yo, 1999-2013, 61.4% – SMWS (93.55)
Well, at least I’m not a complete free fall anymore after this dram. Yesterday netted me no points again but I’m getting a couple of measly points every second day. Unfortunately, I’m still dropping in the rankings since I only … Continue reading
