Glenburgie 25, 1995-2020, Hogshead 6543, 52.9% – Signatory Vintage
During COVID (yes, again) there were a lot of Glenburgies being released. Most of them were distilled in the mid-nineties and they tend to make for gorgeously fruity drams. It should come as no surprise that some of these bottles … Continue reading

GlenDronach 17, 1995-2013, PX Sherry Puncheon, 56.6% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
Ah, remember those days when ordering from the UK was affordable? When whisky coming from across the North Sea didn’t cost another 60-ish Euros in taxes and fees? Back in those days I ordered this GlenDronach. The distillery was all … Continue reading

Bowmore 20, 1995-2015, Bourbon Cask 0079, 46% – Cooper’s Choice
I don’t think I’ve ever made this a secret, but I do love Bowmore. Especially from the mid-nineties. You don’t read about that too often, since that shit is unaffordable by now. Luckily, I got this sample from EH/EE a … Continue reading
Speyside 18, 1995-2013, 56.1% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Ben Nevis 1995-2023, Moscatel Finish, 52.6% – Berry Bros. & Rudd for Kirsch Import
Goodie goodie goodie! Ben Nevis from the mid nineties! That promises a massive fruit bomb over a nice but gentle Highland character. Ever so slightly funky because, after all, it still is Ben Nevis! This specific cask was bottled for … Continue reading

Two sort-of new rums by The Duchess: Uitvlugt 27 and ‘Savannah’ 19

Glenburgie 27, 1995-2022, Hogshead 6668, 57.7% – Signatory Vintage for Wu Dram Clan
The last of the three bottlings for Wu Dram Clan’s third anniversary. I wonder whether they picked three because there’s three of them, or because they’re three years old. If it’s the latter, we’re in for some interesting follow up … Continue reading

Recently the guys behind Wu-Dram Clan released an old Cognac. A Jean-Luc Pasquet, which has proven to be a rather noteworthy Cognac house that works really well for whisky fanatics. More or less at the same time they released an … Continue reading
Glen Grant 26, 1995-2021, Bourbon Barrel, 50.6% – Whisky Sponge
We all know Whisky Sponge for the fairly hilarious blog posts from a while ago. Hilarious if you are a bit embedded in the whisky world and know who and what all references refer to. It seems to have gone … Continue reading
