Armagnac: Baron Gaston Legrand, 1995, 40% (and a wrap up)
The ninth and final Armagnac from the bottle share is another Bas Armagnac, like the Laballes and the Tariquet from a couple of days ago. I didn’t overly like those drinks, even though Bas Armagnac is supposedly the better terroir … Continue reading

Armagnac bottle share: Saint Christeau from Distillerie Gilbert Miclo
So, while we’re at it, I was talking about getting interested in other boozes, like Armagnac and Sake. I have yet to get into the Sake shtick, but I am following through with that Armagnac bottle share. I know of a … Continue reading

The Best Whiskies of 2015
So, I had written a lengthy post about selecting the best whiskies of 2015, and how that process works for me. There was a table with my favorite two whiskies per month, and how I narrowed that list down to … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition Day 10: Glen Moray 20yo, 1994-2015, 56.5% – SMWS (35.134)
Ah, the annual SMWS dram! I think in every year there has been a Blind Tasting Competition, there has been at least one Scotch Malt Whisky Society whisky involved in screwing up the rankings. The highlight of this messing up … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition Day 4: Ben Nevis 18, 1995-2013, 51.8% – The Whisky Agency
After yesterday’s disappointing zero-pointer I had to put in another semi-random guess. I waited with today’s distillery selection until after the results, but since I tasted the whisky on Monday I wasn’t overly sharp on specifics anymore. Apparently, I wasn’t … Continue reading
GlenDronach 1995, 19yo, PX Puncheon, 55.4% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
This GlenDronach was released a little while before TWE’s The Whisky Show together with the BenRiach I already reviewed. That BenRiach was a great dram and I saw a reviewer of this GlenDronach also being quite enthusiastic. It does seem, … Continue reading

Glen Keith 1995-2014, 19yo, 56.3% – Chivas Brothers, CS Edition
With Glen Keith it’s always a bit of a guess whether you’ll find the bottles in a web shop’s closed distilleries section or not. Technically, it’s not a closed distillery any more, but the sales that come from that term … Continue reading

Springbank 1995-2012, 56.5% – The Whisky Exchange Retro Labels
As far as I know, Springbank is a popular distillery. Yet somehow, it took The Whisky Exchange over two years to sell this 16 or 17 year old whisky from their shop. It was quite reasonably priced as well, especially … Continue reading

Glen Elgin 19yo, 1995-2014, 49.3% – Liquid Art (Stag Beetle label)
Liquid Art is a fairly new bottler from Belgium. A whisky guy I met a couple of times at Maltstock (Serge Reijnders) is part of it and was kind enough to send me some samples recently. I just checked their … Continue reading

Lagavulin 12, Friends of the Classic Malts, 48%
Back in 2008 this whisky was released. Apparently the release was kind of a mess, since the price at which is became available was completely wrong initially. As in, while the RRP was set to some € 80, the first … Continue reading
