James Eadie bottlings, guided by Trademark X
Ages ago, a while before this entire Corona period started, a representative of the Dutch importer for James Eadie whiskies came by and gave me some samples for reviewing. We talked whisky a little bit, and got to the brand … Continue reading

Rhumerie du Simon 15yo, 2004-2019, 61% – The Duchess
I decided that the summery weather warrants a summery drink, and what’s more summery than rum? Daiquiris maybe, but apart from that I can’t really think of anything. So, I picked this sample that Best of Wines recently sent me, … Continue reading

Springbank 2004-2015, 51.9% – Malts of Scotland
It is no secret that I love Springbank. It more or less embodies everything I like so much about the world of whisky. They are a small company that works on a rather local scale without much happening outside of … Continue reading

Kilkerran 15 year old, 2004-2019, Fino Cask, 51.6% – OB for Bresser en Timmer
I have absolutely no idea how this one slipped by me. Maybe because I just wasn’t paying attention, but normally if there’s anything from Campbeltown in a Fino Cask coming out, I need to have it. Because it is delicious, … Continue reading

Speyburn 2004-2018, 52.5% – OB for Boomsma NL
I wrote a little introduction to Speyburn distillery a little while ago and I thought about copying it here. You know, just to check if people read with a bit of attention and notice. Anyway, this whisky was released last … Continue reading
Bunnahabhain Moine 2004, 13yo, Marsala Cask, 56.6% – OB Distillery Only
In April of last year I went to Islay with three of my best friends for a rather epic week of booze, scenery, Scotland and a few games of Cards Against Humanity. We decided to not do too many distillery … Continue reading

Miltonduff 10, 2004, 1st Fill White Wine Hogshead, 59.8% – SMWS (72.43)
This is about as random as it gets, I think. Miltonduff, which you don’t come across often and therefore I have no idea what to expect. It’s not overly old and a Speyside whisky, so my money would be on … Continue reading

Old Pulteney 2004-2018, Cask 128, 62.1% – OB for The Whisky Exchange
Old Pulteney is an underrated distillery, in most cases. People now know that older versions, like the 1990 or 1989 that won Jim Murray’s Best Whisky thingy, are good, but there’s a lot more that’s good from the Wick distillery. … Continue reading

Love and hate for Lagavulin
That’s some title, isn’t it? Hate is quite overstated, but I have to lure unsuspecting readers in some way, don’t I? Anyway, the third and last distillery we toured while on Islay a few weeks ago was Lagavulin. I did … Continue reading
