Secret Orkney 16, 2006-2022, Bourbon Hogshead, 48.2% – Wu Dram Clan

Teeling 15, 2006-2022, Amburana Hardwood Cask 6210, 57.8% – OB for The Duchess
When this came out the thing I first did was look up what the rulings and regulations for Irish Whiskey are. Amburana is, as you might have guessed, not oak. It’s a Brazilian kind of hardwood not often used for … Continue reading

Springbank 11, 2006-2018, Fresh Sherry Hogshead, 59.6%
And now for one of the most useless reviews ever… This is one of those obscure Cage bottlings from Springbank, where you can get a one-off in their shop, and it will never see its likeness again. The full information … Continue reading
Tomatin 12, 2006-2019, Oloroso cask 2842, 58.5% – Distillery Exclusive
My friend Tom, who goes by Tomatin on any media that is whisky focused, did a wee bottle share of this a while ago. A Tomatin that worked really well for him up to a level that he wants a … Continue reading

Old Pulteney 12, 2006-2019, Bourbon Cask, 46% – Travel Retail Exclusive
Of course, ‘exclusive’ can be taken with quite a load of salt. Back in early 2020 when Corona first became a thing in the west, I started hosting tasting for friends through all kinds of online channels. The ‘Stay The … Continue reading
Secret Highland 14yo, 2006-2020, Refill Sherry Hogshead 65, 53.2% – Whisky-Doris
I have a bit of a soft spot for pretty labels. Especially these Art Nouveau, absinthe style labels are things that always peak my interest. Luckily, I’ve tried enough whisky to not just go blindly by said label, but when … Continue reading

Deanston 12, 2006-2019, Fino Cask 1608, 55%
