Ardnamurchan 6, 2016-2023, 1st Fill American Oak PX Sherry Butt, 60.6% – SMWS 149.3 (A Walk in the Woods)
Even though I think Ardnamurchan is a distillery that is doing very, very well, they don’t often find their way to my shelf. It maybe has to do with me not paying attention, or simply that there’s so much out … Continue reading

Mortlach 7, 2016-2023, PX Matured, 54.7% – The Duchess
Why is this one not available anywhere, you say? That is mostly because this is not out yet, much like last week’s BenRiach. It’s going to be out 9 February, but even then you’ll be hard pressed to find this … Continue reading

Millstone 7, 2016-2023, First Fill Oloroso Hogshead 2636, 53% – Dràm Mòr

Guest post: Strathean 3, 2016-2019, Single Malt Batch 1, 46.6%
If I had known Ruben was going to publish his tasting notes to the first batch of Strathearn, I would not have sat on Tom’s notes on the same whisky one day too long. In short, it would have been … Continue reading

Kilkerran 8yo, Sherry Cask, 56.4% – Springbank Open Day 2016
For a change, this is not an old, forgotten sample from my cupboard. Which means as much as I knew I had it, but it still is old and from my cupboard, just not forgotten. A whisky friend went to … Continue reading
