Dailuaine 14, 2004, 1st Fill Oloroso Hogshead, 57.9% – SMWS (41.124, Weighty but Welcoming)
Yup, another one of those weirdly named SMWS bottlings. I got this one in auction little over a year ago, in the last throes of lockdown after lockdown. Based on the ratings on Whiskybase I think I used this one … Continue reading

Westport 12, 2004-2016, Sherry Butt 900053, 54.3% – Wilson & Morgan
This one has to start with a bit of clarity. Westport is a randomly chosen name used for certain blended malts. These blended malts are always (with a grain of salt, since there’s no definite certainty on it, due to … Continue reading

Port Charlotte 14, 2004-2019, 1st Fill Sherry Hogshead, 53.4% – Dramfool for Feis Ile 2019
Peat and sherry always works. Almost always at least. And when a dram get vetted for use in Fiddler’s Advent Calendar, you know you’re in for a treat. A sample bottle this dark with a lovely whiff of briny smoke … Continue reading

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
