Westport 21, 1999-2020, American Oak Hogshead 800075, 43.8% – The Whisky Cellar
This is, as whisky fanatics tend to know, a Glenmorangie. With Glenmorangie being a bit more expensive as a brand, it seemed like a good call to pick up a bottle of this, sometime during the pandemic. Glenmorangie 18 is … Continue reading
Burnside 1999-2023, Oksamyt Wine Finish, 57.9% – Berry Bros. & Rudd
Where Fiddichside is obviously Glenfiddich, Burnside is their neighbouring distillery of Balvenie. As with many distilleries nowadays, they don’t want their distillery name on the label, and on top of that things have to be bottled as a blended malt. … Continue reading
Teaninich 20, 1999-2019, Hogshead 307938, 55.7% – Archives

Tres Caroni, La Lune, Limbo y Le Soleil, by Jack Tar
A new bottler announced itself a little while ago. A few years ago that would have been something quite regular, but it’s happening less and less. Probably because of a rather full market and getting hold of barrels of anything … Continue reading
BenRiach 15, 1999-2014, Refill Hogshead 21141, 56.7% – OB for Slijterij Vonk
Slijterij Vonk is a bottle shop not too far from where I live, and even though I hadn’t been there for ages, I started visiting the place a little bit more in the last year or so. It’s strange that … Continue reading
