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
Speyside Region 21, 1998-2020, Hogshead 18505, 54% – Archives
Yet another archives bottling! Not overly surprising with this being one of my favorite bottlers at the moment. They seem to be hitting the sweet spot between price and quality quite often! Surprisingly, I don’t really know what distillery this … Continue reading
Glentauchers 24, 1996-2021, Barrel 22060, 46.8% – Whiskybase
It’s been a while by now, but back in 2021 when there were ‘only’ 180,000 different whiskies on Whiskybase, they released this Glentauchers. There must have been quite a parcel of casks available back then, because it seemed that everyone … Continue reading

Aberlour 12, 2006-2018, Barrel 102, 56.8% – Archives
An older review today. Lately I’ve been emptying some bottles and a LOT of samples, ever since the beginning of the year. A couple dozen that I’ve gone through since were not reviewed here yet, and I even found some … Continue reading

Balcones 4, 2017-2021, American Oak Barrel 16993, 63.6% – Archives
It’s not often that a four year old whisky scores richly above 88 points on Whiskybase, but this one does. It’s 28 votes, so not the most in the world, but not insignificant either. This Texas single malt whisky was … Continue reading

Glen Moray 13, 2007-2021, Barrel 5952, 58.8% – Archives
Glen Moray, to me, is pretty much a blank canvas. As in, the spirit is very gentle and sweet and gives a lot of play room for the cask to interact with the spirit. Unfortunately, that also means there are … Continue reading

Bruichladdich 12, 2008-2021, Barrel 1710, 59.6% – Archives for the Whiskybase Shop
After last week’s Islay theme, I wanted to do an Archives theme this week. As in, not necessarily Archives, but things from Whiskybase, since they also release stuff under that label. I guess a transition should be done by doing … Continue reading

Teaninich 20, 1999-2019, Hogshead 307938, 55.7% – Archives
Teaninich is one of the work horse distilleries of Diageo, situated in Alness where I happened to reside for a couple of days at the end of October. Didn’t go to the distillery though, since they don’t receive visitors and … Continue reading

Glentauchers 21, 1997-2019, Barrel 3833, 49.3% – Archives for CaskAid
CaskAid is a Belgium NPO that sells independently bottled whisky for charity. That sounds like a good way of raising money to me, and when combined with Archives, we should be in for some good stuff! Archives is the independent … Continue reading
