Vallein Tercinier 53 years old, 1967, 47% – Wu Dram Clan

Again, it seems Wu Dram is forever. Or at least for 53 years now. I’ve never had much Cognac before. I tried some Armagnacs and my father-in-law had me try some Cognac in the past, but I never got into … Continue reading

Tamnavulin 1967-2010, 43yo, 41% – The Whisky Agency

A properly ancient whisky that I picked up for a bottle-share. Which, somehow, never filled up, so I had to drink it myself. Bummer. It seems that most bottle-shares I do with those pricier, older whiskies never fill up. That’s … Continue reading

The sixth annual Blog Birthday Bash

This here blog has been around for six years already. The actual date was August third, but that passed rather eventless. However, last Saturday was the annual barbecue-and-booze celebration. I made the fairly predictable huge hunks of pork again, although … Continue reading

New bottle shares!

Little over a month ago I wrote about still available bottle shares. I’m glad to find that most of those have all gone by now. I do have some new ones available though. Not as many, but a bit more … Continue reading

Tomintoul 1967-2000, 33yo, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail Rare Old

Another sample that I got as a mystery sample. Buddy MZ wanted to know my thoughts. I’m happy to oblige. MZ and I met for the first time at my home when I put an open invitation on our club’s … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 1967-2010, 41.1% – Malts of Scotland

This ancient Bunnahabhain has matured in a bourbon hogshead, contrary to a lot of its contemporaries. Properly long aging in bourbon casks can work miracles, if the cask isn’t overly active. A too active cask can make a whisky into … Continue reading
