Ailsa Bay 2011 / Ben Nevis 2012 (The Duchess)
I right up stole that title from Thijs’ blog… The Duchess is releasing two new single cask whiskies today. Most likely at noon, which is five minutes from typing this, and probably a couple of minutes ago by the time … Continue reading

Glen Garioch 2011-2023, Bourbon Cask, 52.1% – Liquid Art (10th Anniversary)
Another bottling from Liquid Art’s 10th anniversary, and from a distillery I recently visited and am thrilled with. Apparently it was bottled in 2023 already, which surprised me. I would expect that anniversary bottlings are from the anniversary year. Of … Continue reading

Springbank 11, 2011-2023, Fresh Sherry Rotation 155, 56.7% – Duty Paid Sample
A ‘Duty Paid Sample’ of 70cl, or as it is commonly known, a ‘Cage Bottling’. Erik E/H. brought this over last year, and shared this one with the group. And as is quite well known to returning readers, I love … Continue reading

A duo of 10 year old Caol Ilas, some years apart
So, one of these was a semi-recent buy that I sort-of regretted. The other was bought because it is one of the whiskies that opened my eyes to the world of independent bottlers. Or at least very similar to that. … Continue reading

Edradour 12, 2011-2023, Oloroso Sherry Butts, 57.8% – Batch 1
So, as it turns out Edradour has also jumped on the ‘we now make a sherried cask strength version of our whisky’ bandwagon. Similar to Glengoyne, GlenDronach, and many others. There is a big difference though, because Edradour put an … Continue reading
Glengoyne 11, 2011-2023, Bourbon & PX finish, 50% – Glaschu Spirits Co.
Another new bottler that has made their way into the Netherlands. As in, I don’t see it in shops yet, but it is imported according to the importer. That importer sent me a sample of their 11 year old Glengoyne. … Continue reading

Blair Athol 11, 2011-2023, Refill Bourbon Hogshead 308910, 56% – Dràm Mòr
Yet another Dràm Mòr whisky from the recent batch of samples they sent over. This time it’s a Blair Athol from a bourbon cask. Matured for eleven years since 2011, so a very recent bottling. Blair Athol, in my experience, … Continue reading

Longmorn 10, 2011-2022, 52.4% – Michiel Wigman ‘They Inspired’ (part deux)
So, back in April I reviewed Michiel’s latest escapade by tasting his Longmorn 10 from 2011. As said in that post, I should have added water but I didn’t, even though I was specifically instructed to do so. Michiel being … Continue reading

Ardmore 8, 2011-2020, Rum Barrel Finish, 59% – King Cask
It’s not overly complicated to get me enthusiastic about whisky. That’s true in general, but for some distilleries it’s a bit more than usual. Ardmore is one of those distilleries, especially if not too much weirdness has been done to … Continue reading
