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

Posted on 11 August 2016 by

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 →

Posted on 8 August 2016 by

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 →

Bunnahabhain 1967-2010, 41.1% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 2 June 2015 by

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 →
