Caol Ila 34yo, 1982-2016, 60.1% – Cadenhead
Back in 2016 when I bought two sizable samples of this, I wasn’t overly impressed. I don’t remember why and I don’t remember what I expected. However, it made me forget sample number two until recently, when I could try … Continue reading
Clynelish 1982-1995, 13yo, 43% – Usquebaugh Society
When I see Clynelish from before 1996, my interest peaks. Not that that year heralded a downturn or anything, but that was a good vintage, and anything from before it is generally priceless stuff. Then, a while ago this one … Continue reading
Inchgower 1982-2011, 29yo, 54.6% – Duncan Taylor
Ah, Inchgower 1982. A whisky that got popular because a lot of it tastes like Clynelish from the same era. At least, in my circles that’s what it’s famous for. It is also why I bought this bottle a year … Continue reading

Benrinnes 1982-2009, 26yo, 57.4% – The Bottlers
Benrinnes is one of those Diageo distilleries that isn’t bottled as a single malt often. Apart from some Flora & Fauna releases and the occassional Premium Edition, you have to turn to independent bottlers. Even those guys don’t have too … Continue reading
Port Ellen1982-2010, 27yo, 55.5% – Old Bothwell
A week without a new post has gone by, and I’ve decided to catch up on some notes I’ve written ages ago. The first ones I came across in my little booklet were these of an early eighties Port Ellen … Continue reading
Inchgower 1982, 29yo, 53.9% – Whiskybroker.co.uk
Sometimes I find a whisky with a certain profile that I find very hard to define, but oh so delicious. It happened with an Inchgower 1982 from Duncan Taylor. It also happened with a 1982 Clynelish I had during the BTC … Continue reading
