Uitvlugt 31, 1991-2023, ‘Time Travel’, Cask 32, 59.2% – Jack Tar

A few months ago I reviewed the sister cask of this one, which I thoroughly loved. So when this sample came in I was pretty thrilled about it! Of course, waiting for the right time took a few weeks but … Continue reading

Burnside 28, 1991-2020, Bourbon Barrel 7367, 45% – C. Dully Selection

Yeah, another ‘blended malt’ from Balvenie Distillery. There’s a drop of something else, most likely Glenfiddich, in this one to declassify this as Single Malt. Of course, this generally is reflected in the price and many whisky fanatics know by … Continue reading

Uitvlugt 30, 1991-2022, ‘Dreamcatcher’, Cask 3, 56% – Jack Tar

When digging through tasting notes I found this one from a sample I got a LONG time ago. Back in the day I probably thought it was a good idea to wait with posting this until I had something to … Continue reading

Bruichladdich 22, 1991-2014, Hogshead 2270, 55.9% – Whiskybroker

I was going to start this review by stating that I really like trying Bruichladdichs from before their restart in 2001. That would have been too much information in a way, since I like trying Bruichladdichs no matter what. Maybe … Continue reading

Glen Scotia 1991-2015, Hogshead, 46% – Wemyss ‘Leather Bound Ledger’

So, old books and cracker leather lay ahead of us, going by the title. Wemyss is a bit of an oddball bottler in my book. Not in a very negative way, but I do think their blended malts get in … Continue reading

Unnamed Islay 30, 1991-2022, Bourbon Barrel 2674, 51.4% – Signatory Vintage for Wu Dram Clan

To celebrate their third anniversary, Wu Dram Clan released three very different whiskies. A Caperdonich, a Glenburgie and an Unnamed Islay. The Islay one is reviewed today, the other two will follow shortly, but with a week of Islay whiskies … Continue reading

Lagavulin 30, 1991-2022, PX/Oloroso seasoned oak, 44.3% – OB ‘Casks of Distinction’

Apart from some cask samples at the Warehouse Tasting at the distillery, I don’t think I ever had a Lagavulin this old. In fact, I know that for sure. Of course, that’s not too surprising with there only being six … Continue reading

Five Grain Whiskies and a Blended Malt

Last February I reviewed a Girvan, of which I had gotten a sample in Fiddlers’ Advent Calendar. Contrary to what I expected, I really loved it and even got myself a bottle. Teun van Wel, of Maltstock fame, saw my … Continue reading

North British 25, 1991, Virgin Heavy Toast Mediam Char Oak Butt, 63.9% – SMWS (G1.15, Could Pacify a Mob)

That’s a new one, as far as cask descriptors go! One of these samples that I found on my sample shelf, and a grain whisky to boot. Apart from ‘SMWS G1.15’ there was nothing on the label, so I had … Continue reading
