A few years ago when I was still a member of the Usquebaugh Society, a few of the older club bottlings popped up at some whisky shops in The Netherlands. There was a Clynelish, I believe a Caol Ila (which … Continue reading

Inchgower 1982-2011, 29yo, 54.6% – Duncan Taylor
Ah, Inchgower 1982. A whisky that got popular because a lot of it tastes like Clynelish from the same era. At least, in my circles that’s what it’s famous for. It is also why I bought this bottle a year … Continue reading

Cadenhead’s bottle-share
Towards the end of last October I did yet another ‘last’ bottle share of the year. The last one because I had been stressing my wallet, and everyone else’s in my sharing group. Of course, that wasn’t true and I … Continue reading

The samples
So, I tallied the samples I’ve got lying and I got to 110 samples of whisky. That’s specific because there’s eight more samples of new make and thirty samples of assorted booze. I already finished three of them over the … Continue reading
Inchgower 1982, 29yo, 53.9% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
Sometimes I find a whisky with a certain profile that I find very hard to define, but oh so delicious. It happened with an Inchgower 1982 from Duncan Taylor. It also happened with a 1982 Clynelish I had during the BTC … Continue reading
Inchgower 1994-2007, 13yo, 58.9%, The Manager’s Dram
During my last Blog Birthday Bash buddy TT left me a sample of this. Contrary to what usually happens (I’m trying to improve this, it’s going better) it didn’t disappear in my nigh-infinite sample stash but I drank it soon. … Continue reading

Inchgower 14, 43%, Flora & Fauna
I’ve been going through some samples to get them out of the way and stop them from taking up valuable shelf space. There’s still quite a few to go, as in, a hundred or more. This one was bought some … Continue reading
Inchgower 1982-2011, 29yo, 54.6%, #6974 – Duncan Taylor Rare Auld
I’ve tried some Inchgower 1982 (by Malts of Scotland) before and it came pretty darn close to tasting like a real highlander like Clynelish. Lots of character, lots of goodness. And actually, I have already had this exact Inchgower as … Continue reading
