Glen Scotia 17, 1977-1994, 57.5% – Cadenhead Authentic Collection
Unless things go horribly awry, I’ll be in Campbeltown in 9 days. Contrary to what you might expect we’re not visiting any distilleries, since time is ridiculously limited and we’re already visiting Watt Whisky. Of course, we’re visiting some shops … Continue reading
Glenlivet 26, 1977, 52.9% – Kingsbury
It’s not often you come across a bottle of anything from Kingsbury. It being a bottler from Japan, and such. And it becomes even more rare when it’s such an old Glenlivet. This 26 year old whisky must, logically, have … Continue reading
Port Ellen 19, 1977-1996, 58.9% – Scott’s Selection
Sometimes you realize you have some rather interesting tasting notes lying around. Stuff you tried but for some reason haven’t written about yet. By ‘you’ I mean me, because I realize most people do not write whisky blogs, although it … Continue reading
Ardmore 24, 1977-2004, Sherry Butt, 58.6% – Cadenhead

Caperdonich 39, 1977-2017, 50.4% – Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary
Well, there’s no mistaking this being from a sherry cask. It’s a butt too, so a more proper sherry cask as well. No information about the kind of oak is given though. Last year Cadenhead’s, the rather awesome bottler of … Continue reading
Whiskies of the year: Runners up
I published the post with my whisky of the year last Monday. Generally I do the runners up first, or all in one post or so, but in this case it was a brand new whisky that I had not … Continue reading
Glenlochy 1977-1996, 18yo, 60.5% – Cadenhead’s
On Whiskybase there’s a remark for this whisky that it was sold in auction in 2015. Don’t I know it! I finally managed to get my hands on an old Glenlochy! It’s one from Cadenhead’s from two decades ago, so … Continue reading
