Gjoleid 10, bottled in 2020, Bourbon Barrels, 47.3%

As I found out a couple of days ago, a sample of this was underway to me from Dràm Mòr. Apparently either Dutch or British Royal Mail decided that somewhere between 5 to 6 weeks was the right amount of … Continue reading

Smögen 9, 2014-2023, Ex-Four Roses Bourbon Barrel 14, 59.8% – Wu Dram Clan
Thijs described his review as ‘mustard after the meal’. That is a Dutch saying meaning that you’re late in such a way that there’s no use anymore. Another saying for that is ‘eggs after Easter’. But here I am reviewing … Continue reading

Millstone 6, Batch 1, 48.9% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company
My local bottle-shop found a bunch of these in the store room and I picked one up. There’s no more story to it than this. Luckily, this one is from the period after TBWC cleaned up their bottling line so … Continue reading

Amrut Bagheera, Batch 1, Sherry Cask Finish, 46%
Apparently, Bagheera is Indian for panther, and until this whisky came out I didn’t know that. To me it was the panther in The Jungle Book, and nothing else. Anyway, this whisky, released three years ago is an Amrut, which … Continue reading

Amrut 5, 2015-2021, Ex-Bourbon Cask 3734, 60% – OB for the Members of Whiskybase
And yes, I got a bottle of this before it sold out, and then never gave it enough priority for a timely review. India is not the first country that comes to mind when thinking about single malt whisky, but … Continue reading

Eddu Gold, 2021 release, 43%
Eddu is a release frmo Distillerie des Menhirs in Brittany, France. Brittany is a bit like the England-part of France, so it’s not too surprising that they lean towards their northern neighbours for boozy inspiration. Brittany has quite some whisky … Continue reading

Amrut Triparva, Batch 1, 50%
Also during lockdown, as with many other fairly random bottles in my collection, I bought this one for a tasting. Triple distilled Amrut, at a decent ABV. Not generally something I would shell out a hundred bucks for, but Amrut … Continue reading
Millstone 8, 49.5% – OB for Liquid Gold
Talking about random samples from the shelf! This one, of an eight year old Millstone had been on my shelf for years, and it was released years before that. On Whiskybase it was added in 2010, but there’s no telling … Continue reading
