Glenallachie 1995 – Malts of Scotland
To be honest, I more or less chose this bottle because I had never tasted anything from Glenallachie before. I always try to taste new stuff and since this distillery is not regularly available to my knowledge and, I think, … Continue reading
Glenglassaugh 1984 – Malts of Scotland
For some reason this was one of the samples I was looking forward to the most. I haven’t tasted many Glenglassaughs, but the ones I tried were terrific! The colour of this dram was very dark, almost coffee like. Usually … Continue reading

Since the average ABV and age were a given before the competition started, I calculated these for this dram. The distillery was still a bit of a guess, and since yesterday was a Lowlands distillery, there were only about 5 … Continue reading
BTC: Sample 17 (Glenkinchie 33, Dewar Rattray)
Not that I guessed this one exactly right, but I tasted it after seeing on the forum what it was. That did make me look forward to tasting it. Glenkinchie is a distillery that isn’t regularly available from indies, but … Continue reading
