Blind Tasting Competition 18 – Longmorn 23, 52.6% – WIN
The grand finale! After the first year I thought the last dram would be a rather spectacular one. Back then it was a rather spectacular Convalmore by Old Malt Cask. Last year I expected the last one to be the … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition 15 – Rosebank 20, 1991-2011, 51.1% – SMWS
I’m glad we’re getting into more discernible territory regarding the whiskies. I’m still not good at getting it right, of course but at least there’s a chance now. The whisky that set me of on my nagging spree was that … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 11 – Arran, 9yo, 2002-2011, 61.3% – SMWS
This time I did fill in my guess for the day, and I was hoping to start catching up with a bit of points here and there. Unfortunately, today is not the day that that is happening. Maybe it never … Continue reading

Longmorn 1996-2013, #72315, 57.5% – The Ultimate
It doesn’t happen often that a single cask Longmorn at cask strength comes along, from a fresh sherry cask, at € 60. In other words, that’s ridiculously cheap to be honest. It was available from Dutch bottler The Ultimate, ran … Continue reading

Just as I did last year, the last week of December is spent on reviewing everything that’s happened during this solar orbit. Yesterday I listed my favorite records of 2012, and today it’s time for the top whiskies. Again, like … Continue reading

BTC sample 16 – Highland Park 25, 48.1%
Thinking ahead is what I was doing yesterday. Tonight I can’t taste my sample so I was kind of happy when I thought of that yesterday, so I could take some time for today’s sample too. Unfortunately, I was having … Continue reading
Longmorn 1968-2003 – Scott’s Selection (USA)
A very well aged version of a Longmorn bottled for the USA market. Apparently there have been a couple good ones for the USA since this is the 3rd one I’ve tasted that trickled back to Europe. Nose: Full frontal … Continue reading
Longmorn 21 – SMWS (7.65)
A Balm for the Soul, this one is called. Let’s hope it lives up to that expectation, since that sure is promising! A second fill sherry butt is something different from all the Longmorns I’ve been tasting over the last … Continue reading
Longmorn-Glenlivet 1967-2004 – Scott’s Selection
Not the kick-ass Longmorn I tasted at the Hielander Whisky Festival last week, but an ancient dram nonetheless. I got a sample from this from Dick de Jong a while ago and hadn’t gotten around to tasting it yet. Nose: … Continue reading
