Another 2 Old Pulteneys, this time the Distillery Only bottlings from 2022

And by ‘the’ distillery only bottlings, I mean the two casks that were available at the end of October 2022. A bourbon cask one, and a sherry cask one, both at rocket fuel like ABVs. When I was there with … Continue reading

Bruichladdich 15, 2007-2023, Château Climens Hogshead, 53.2% – Campbeltown Malts Festival

Since this bottle was added to Whiskybase by my whisky buddy Erik, I presume the sample also came from him. Memory gets foggy with all these samples, and all this alcohol (making that joke before anyone else does). Generally I … Continue reading

Daftmill 12, 2007-2019, First Fill Bourbon Barrels, 46%

This Winter Batch Release from 2019 was the final sample in the Blind Tasting Competition. After 11 other samples we had to close it out, and somehow the math didn’t help to get to the correct ABV. The style of … Continue reading

Caol Ila 15, 2007-2022, PX Sherry Butt Finish, 54.6% – Douglas Laing’s Old Particular

The second to last day of the Blind Tasting Competition brings us back to Islay, and another re-tasting. I have no idea what happened here, and why I didn’t get any of the typical smoky notes that are normal for … Continue reading

Inchgower 14, 2007-2022, First Fill Sherry Hogshead, 58.5% – Adelphi for WIN

Apparently, an Inchgower was bottled for Whisky Import Nederland last year. I might have seen it back then, but I don’t think I really picked up on it. I know for sure I didn’t pick up a bottle for sharing, … Continue reading

Glen Moray 14, 2007-2021, Hogshead 6305, 51.7% – Catawiki

Catawiki released this series of ‘Catawhisky’ last year for their avid auction bidders. I believe it was stated that the first 1000 people to spend € 1000 on their auction site would get a batch of samples from this. What … Continue reading

Glen Moray 10, 2007, Bourbon Barrel, 46% – Alba Import

Glen Moray is one of those distilleries that tends to have a style that is fairly generic. It makes a perfectly decent Speyside style whisky, but often it doesn’t really make memories. However, some times what comes from the Elgin … Continue reading

Benrinnes 12, 2007-2020, Cask 14358, 54.9% – WIN for Whisky Weekend Twente

Whisky Weekend Twente is one of the many whisky festivals in The Netherlands. It is also one that I’ve never been to, since it’s quite far away (to Dutch standards) and it’s one of those festivals where it’s mostly importers … Continue reading

Glen Moray 13, 2007-2021, Barrel 5952, 58.8% – Archives

Glen Moray, to me, is pretty much a blank canvas. As in, the spirit is very gentle and sweet and gives a lot of play room for the cask to interact with the spirit. Unfortunately, that also means there are … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8, 2007-2015, Barolo Wine Cask, 61% – OB for Belgium

Another one of these random samples from the sample cupboard. I have no idea where it came from, but it’s an interesting one so I’m not going to feel bad about that for too long! It’s been a while since … Continue reading
