A Highland Distillery 10yo, 2010-2020, Sherry Butt 2090, 54.8% – The Maltman
Where there always have been a lot of ‘secret Speyside’ releases over the last decades, there weren’t that many secret Highland version around. This has changed over the last couple of years with more and more distilleries not wanting their … Continue reading

All three of these are Clynelish
It seems a new Diageo rule that Clynelish can no longer be represented on labels, since everything that has been released lately is labeled as ‘Secret Highland Distillery’. Of course that doesn’t mean all these secret highlands are Clynelish, but … Continue reading
Caol Ila 9yo, 2010-2020, 52.3% – Signatory Vintage for Kirsch Import

Kavalan Solist 2010-2016, B101217032A, 58.6%

A little while ago a friend of mine (RvB) bottle-shared half his bottle and after someone got there first, I took the remaining 25cl. Generally, Benromach is a very solid whisky that works very well with both bourbon and sherry … Continue reading
