Posted on 22 July 2020 by

The fourth (or third, depending on how you look at it) of Michiel Wigman’s own whisky bottlings. Anyway, it was part of the second batch of two whiskies. Another of these secret distilleries that are so popular currently, with every … Continue reading →

Bruichladdich 25, 1993-2018, 49.3 – Cadenhead’s for NL

Posted on 31 May 2019 by

Bruichladdich is one of those distilleries that I really, really like. However, I do recognize that the whisky distilled around its closing date in 1993. This must have been distilled in the last few months of it being open, before … Continue reading →

Ardbeg 1993-2003, 52.9% – Spirit of Scotland for Potstill Vienna

Posted on 24 May 2019 by

Yet another random sample I found on my shelf. Ardbeg 1993 caught my eye since that’s a vintage that’s becoming insanely expensive nowadays. Of course, the label was lacking any other information, so I had absolutely no clue to the … Continue reading →

Mortlach 1993-2018, 56.1% – Adelphi

Posted on 16 March 2019 by

It’s been both a slow and a busy week here. Not many posts in the last week or so, mostly because I’ve been quite busy, or so tired from being busy that blogging was far from the first time on … Continue reading →

Glen Grant 25, 1993-2018, 50.8% – Cadenhead’s Club

Posted on 15 February 2019 by

With most clubs associated with distilleries or bottlers you wonder what it’s for. In a lot of cases it is barely more than a  quarterly newsletter and some ‘exclusive’ section of their website that barely offers any added value. Of … Continue reading →

Cadenhead’s bottle-share

Posted on 21 January 2019 by

Towards the end of last October I did yet another ‘last’ bottle share of the year. The last one because I had been stressing my wallet, and everyone else’s in my sharing group. Of course, that wasn’t true and I … Continue reading →

Tullibardine 1993-2015, 22yo, 47.3% – Cadenhead

Posted on 5 December 2018 by

Tullibardine is not a distillery who’s whisky I love. I’ve only tried a handful of them, and I only ever bought one bottle by the SMWS which, when it was half empty, I took to Maltstock for other people to … Continue reading →

Love and hate for Lagavulin

Posted on 30 April 2018 by

That’s some title, isn’t it? Hate is quite overstated, but I have to lure unsuspecting readers in some way, don’t I? Anyway, the third and last distillery we toured while on Islay a few weeks ago was Lagavulin. I did … Continue reading →

Frapin 1993 Cognac, 43.2% – The Whisky Exchange

Posted on 21 November 2017 by

A little while ago I got a surprise sample of a new Cognac bottled for The Whisky Exchange, from producer Frapin. The biggest surprise was that they sent this to me since I know absolutely nothing about Cognac. What I … Continue reading →

A flock of Inchmurrin

Posted on 29 June 2017 by

After some posts of Islay whiskies, we’re moving a little bit east to Loch Lomond. This truly stunning are is home to a large but largely unknown distillery of the same name. Most of it’s fame (if you can call … Continue reading →
