Family Silver 19yo, 2001-2021, Oloroso Sherry Cask #4630, 44% – Cooper’s Choice
The label states this is a Blended Malt, but somewhere in my mind I registered this as Glenfarclas. I have no idea where I read or heard that, but there it is. I guess ‘The Most Famous Distillery in Speyside’ … Continue reading
Ardbeg 20, 2001-2021, Refill Bourbon Barrel 348, 46.6% – OB for Wu Dram Clan
Right after I reviewed their epic rum, I got an email another sample was making its way to my humble abode. This time, a 20 year old Single Cask Ardbeg, under the original label from the distillery. Knowing the level … Continue reading
Five Grain Whiskies and a Blended Malt
Last February I reviewed a Girvan, of which I had gotten a sample in Fiddlers’ Advent Calendar. Contrary to what I expected, I really loved it and even got myself a bottle. Teun van Wel, of Maltstock fame, saw my … Continue reading

Family Silver, 1st Fill Oloroso Cask 4630, 44% – Cooper’s Choice
I bought a sizeable sample of this whisky upon being told this is Glenfarclas. Of course, with it being a blended malt, it’s most likely teaspooned, but there’s no guarantee it’s Glenfarclas. It could very well be, but where all … Continue reading
Springbank 12, 2001-2013, 53.5% – Springbank Society
It’s feels like it’s been ages since I got my hands on a Springbank Society bottling. I know there’s one sitting in Campbeltown which I was supposed to pick up last April. Obviously that didn’t happen, and I’m not entirely … Continue reading
Springbank 2001-2010, 8yo, Cognac Cask, 58.5% – Cadenhead
Back in 2010 I went to Scotland for the first time. My wife and I decided to do things right and we had some money in our pockets. I had just sold my Magic: The Gathering collection, something I now … Continue reading
