Glen Moray 13, 2010-2024, Tokaji Wine Finish, 56% –
I was a bit surprised by the spelling of Tokaji, but apparently you can spell it with and without an I at the end. Anyway, I don’t have much experience with this type of cask. I know the Longrow from … Continue reading

Linkwood 12, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Cask 309279, 55.5% – Finn Thomson
Finn Thomson, not to be confused with the ThomPson brothers, but also a bottler of Scotch whisky. In sort-of fancy hexagonal bottles (or was is an octagon?). Anyway, the bottle came in a tube similarly ‘gonal’, which made the tube … Continue reading

Clynelish 12, 2010-2023, 1st Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel, 58.7% – SMWS 26.126 (Madeleine a la Plage)
It’s been ages since I bought a bottle from SMWS. I tried some over the years but, and I think I’ve stated this before, it feels a bit silly to pay for a membership to a club to be allowed … Continue reading

Teaninich 11, 2010-2022, Ex-Stout Barrel, 53.9% – Thompson Brothers
Whisky from beer casks always peeks my interest. I’m not entirely sure why, because on average, the experiences have not been great. The IPA cask from Chichibu was a very welcome exception and still a stellar dram. When this ‘Phil … Continue reading

Hazelburn 12, 2010-2022, Fresh Oloroso Sherry Cask, 49.9%
The fourth dram in the Blind Tasting Competition was another zero-pointer for me (you’ll quickly discover this to be a recurring theme…). While I guessed this to be a decent older Speyside whisky, it turned out to be Hazelburn, which … Continue reading

Whisky Import Nederland celebrates their 18th birthday this year, and here I am reviewing a bottle I’ve had since their tenth anniversary. This is one of those things that I bought but wasn’t overly thrilled with, so it got a … Continue reading

Glenrothes 10, 2010, Hogshead 4131, 46% – Canmore
Another single cask bottling from Canmore, the whisky series from Charles Edge in London. Glenrothes is one of those distilleries that I find very uninteresting in regard to their official bottlings (and yes, there’s amazing old stuff, I mean the … Continue reading

Mannochmore 13, 2010-2023, Bourbon Hogshead 3088, 54.8% – Dràm Mòr
After a couple of weeks of holidaying in France, and bringing quite a bag of samples with me that I barely (barley?) touched, let’s get right back to reviewing some fine drams! The first one of which is another one … Continue reading
Caol Ila 11, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Barrel 321701, 56.9% – Archives
Apart from starting to look like the Archives fanboy channel over here, I do really enjoy almost everything they put out. I say almost, because I like some whiskies better than others, but I have to admit that nothing ‘bad’ … Continue reading
Williamson 2010-2020, Refill Barrel twj-Lph01, 52.2% – The Whisky Jury
And yes, of course this is Laphroaig. Williamson is a regular name for undisclosed Laphroaig, named after Bessie Williamson, the distillery manager at Laphroaig from the Second World War to 1972, with her also being owner of the place since … Continue reading
