Ben Nevis 19, 1999-2018, 46.5% – WhiskyBroker

Cragganmore 20, 1999-2020, Recharred American oak casks, 55.8%
Of course I had already forgotten about it, but I did get a sample of last year’s Cragganmore Special Release by Diageo. It’s not even that the announcement of the special releases for this autumn reminded me of it, I … Continue reading

Secret Orkney 20yo, 1999-2020, Hogshead, 52.7% – Boogieman Import
Yes, this is Highland Park. They all are. This bottling was released some two or three months ago by Stefan van der Boog (BOOGieman), from Passie voor Whisky. And as I do when new and sort-of affordably Highland Parks are … Continue reading

Michiel planned to do another two releases this year, and right after he emailed the participants that he couldn’t find casks of a high enough quality, these two popped up, so here they are. Or at least, here’s one of … Continue reading

Teaninich 20, 1999-2019, 49.7% – Michiel Wigman
This was the first bottling I got that was done by Michiel Wigman. Mr. Springbank, the embodiment of Dutch Whisky Connection, to me at least. To see a Teaninich bottled was something of a surprise, since it’s not a distillery … Continue reading
Old Pulteney, 1999-2019, 19yo, 56.5% – Gordon & MacPhail

Longrow 18, 1999-2018, 52.9% – OB from the Cage
Longrow, the ‘peated-to-Islay-levels’ version of Springbank with a slightly shorter distillation regime, is one of their three brands. With it being a Springbank whisky, it means they have cage bottles available at the shop in Campbeltown. When I was there … Continue reading

Balblair 1999-2017, 3rd release, 46%
Recently Balblair have switched to using age statements instead of vintages. I can understand the marketing effectiveness of it, since vintages don’t really mean anything unless you also clearly state when something was bottled. This one, however, was bottled in … Continue reading
