Bowmore 2000-2014, 54.4% – Signatory Vintage for The Whisky Exchange
I really was happy with all these 2000 Bowmores. It started with a slew of them around 2009 from Berry Brother’s & Rudd. Then, a few years later this one came out, and if I remember correctly there were a … Continue reading

Balblair 2000-2014, 51%, OB for the Russian Federation
Now this is a first! I’ve never had a bottling for Russia before. Of course, that doesn’t change the whisky much, but it’s just a fun fact. Anyway, this heavily sherried Balblair single cask was released two years ago and … Continue reading

Springbank 2000-2015, 15yo, Port Cask, 50.9% – OB for Awico
I generally like Springbank, both for their whisky and the way they’re doing business. Most of their stuff has an age statement, most of their whiskies are at least sort of affordable. They also do quite a few private casks. … Continue reading

Arran 2000-2015, 14yo, 55.5% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
Arran is on a roll the last year or two. There have been so many private bottlings you’d almost start wondering if they’re keeping anything for themselves any longer. Almost every independent bottler or bigger shop or importer has had … Continue reading

Old Pulteney 2000-2014, 14yo, 61.1%, Hand bottled at the Distillery
Somehow I don’t try many Old Pulteneys. That’s more strange since I generally really enjoy the taste and aroma it brings, with gentle briny notes covered in fruit and vanilla. Deducing from that you might say I prefer the bourbon … Continue reading

Glenturret 2000-2014, 50% – Gordon & MacPhail Exclusive
I don’t get to try too many of the Gordon & MacPhail Exclusives. It might actually have been a couple of years during on the Blog Birthday Bashes that someone brought a bottle of Scapa from the brand. I might … Continue reading

I got this sample from whisky buddy DSA, who sent it to me a couple of months ago. On holiday I finally got around to it and I had a quiet afternoon in the sun, with one kid taking a … Continue reading

Irish Single Malt, 14yo, 2000-2015, 51.5% – The Nectar of the Daily Drams
The older sister of the Irish whiskey I reviewed yesterday. Another undisclosed whiskey from the emerald isle, two years older than the earlier one and priced at a similar level. I believe yesterday’s bottle initially set me back 60 bucks, … Continue reading
