Ardnamurchan 7, 2024, 57.1% – WhiskySponge #100
For the one-hundredth, and final, bottling under the WhiskySponge name, Angus MacRaild chose an Ardnamurchan. In this case it’s a peated and sherry cask matured one, bottled at 100 proof (coincidence?). The result of this choice is a rather well … Continue reading

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

Ben Nevis 22, 1996-2019, Refill Sherry Cask 980, 55% – Adelphi
Such great memories. Ben Nevis from the mid-nineties that was sort of affordable. And by sort of affordable I mean it still set you back north of € 200, but at least it was just shy of € 500, which … Continue reading

Ardnamurchan 7, 2014-2022, Unpeated 1st Fill Spanish Oloroso Sherry Cask 435, 60.2% – OB for 12 Barrels
Even though Ardnamurchan is still young whisky, like yesterday’s 1770 and quite some others nowadays, Arnamurchan seems to have an old soul. This whisky tends to punch above it’s age, and works well in a variety of casks. Knowing this … Continue reading
Ardnamurchan 8, 2014-2022, Ex Bourbon Barrel CK.154, 59.5% – OB for The Netherlands
I really like that there are more and more bottlings done for The Netherlands. It seems we finally have gotten our space on the global whisky map! This Ardnamurchan is one of them that came out last year. I didn’t … 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

Ardnamurchan 5, Bottled in 2022, Oloroso Octave, 61.5% – Warehouse Release
Arnamurchan is one of those distilleries that goes for quality first and foremost. As in, that is what it seems like. Almost, if not all, bottlings so far have been very drinkable at least, if memory serves. That is, the … Continue reading

Ben Nevis 5, 2015-2020, First Fill Oloroso Cask 10715, 58.9% – Adelphi for Whisky Import Nederland
When there’s a label from a respected bottler like Adelphi stating that the contents are Ben Nevis, the bottles tend to fly off the shelves. In this case that might have gone even faster since it’s a split cask, for … Continue reading

Breath of the Isles 14, 1993-2007, Refill Hogshead 3746, 57% – Adelphi
Of course, this is an undisclosed single malt whisky. Adelphi has (or used to have) a slew of them in the ‘Breath of…’ series. Islay, Speyside, the Highlands. The only two regions not covered are the Lowlands and Campbeltown, for … Continue reading

Longmorn 17, 1992-2010, 1st Fill Bourbon Cask 48431, 53.6% – Adelphi
With a friend of mine being one of the Longmorn Brothers, it’s no surprise that I occasionally find a sample of the distillery’s whisky on my shelf. And for some reason, Longmorn generally comes from samples. I can’t remember if … Continue reading
