Vintage Bourbon 25, 1976-2001, 43%
Old Bourbon is not a common thing anymore. At least, not until you start shelling out thousands of bucks on a bottle. The same goes for Scotch, but to a slightly lesser degree. So when Nils sent me a sample … Continue reading
Thalassa Whisky 10, 2011-2022, 55% – King Cask
But wait, wasn’t this reviewed already? Yes it is. Correct. However, this is a whisky that was ‘dynamically aged’ on the Thalassa, sailing across the Atlantic a couple of times before being bottled in Terschelling. Joris, of Dam Dranken on … Continue reading

Speyside Region 21, 1998-2020, Hogshead 18505, 54% – Archives
Yet another archives bottling! Not overly surprising with this being one of my favorite bottlers at the moment. They seem to be hitting the sweet spot between price and quality quite often! Surprisingly, I don’t really know what distillery this … Continue reading

Peatside 10, 2011-2021, ex-Madeira Cask 5541, 53.2% – Kintra Whisky
Instead of ‘Tomorrow’ this review shows up 6 days after the previous Kintra Whisky. This one is an undisclosed whisky from a peated distillate. If memory serves even the bottler, Erik Molenaar, doesn’t know the distillery this whisky was made … Continue reading

Unnamed Orkney 16, 2006-2022, Refill Butt DRU17/A65#4, 46% – The Ultimate
It’s been a while since I tried anything by The Ultimate. Generally I don’t really buy into the brand since I often find the whisky a little bit lackluster. Often bottled too young, under ten years old. That’s not necessarily … Continue reading

Highland Malt Whisky 11, 2010-2022, Barrel 2534, 58.1% – Whiskybase Gathering 2022
It is a public secret that this whisky is an 11 year old Clynelish. Not always do you get to know which distillery a ‘secret <enter region here>’ whisky is from, but in this case, Whiskybase didn’t really hide it. … Continue reading

Thalassa Whisky 10, 2011-2022, 55% – King Cask
Another one of those weird whiskies from King Cask. And by weird I am talking about the way it came to be instead of the actual whisky. This one, with an ‘Origin near the Falls of Bruar’, or as is … Continue reading

Distilled at an Islay Distillery, 2008-2022, 53.9%, Wu Dram Clan Community
For some distilleries there is a great vintage. For others, there seem to be nothing but great vintages. At least, if you don’t count the entire 1980s decade. Of course, with a whisky called ‘Kilarrow Parish Church Bowmore’ as a … Continue reading
