Auchentoshan 1990-2014, 23yo, 47.7% – Archives (Indian Ducks)
Auchentoshan and me have a bit of a weird history. Not a long one, mind. When I started my whisky journey and bought loads of starter whiskies, I really like Auchentoshan 10. Since there was so much out there, there … Continue reading

Glen Keith 1992, 21yo, 51.5% – Archives (Fishes of Samoa)
Another Archives bottling from the Fishes of Samoa series. The guys at Whiskybase are using this label theme for quite a while, contrary to The Whisky Agency for example, who only have a theme for some four bottlings each time. … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 8: Littlemill 23yo, 1990-2014, 47.8% – Archives
Well, yesterday nipped me in the but. I didn’t slide down too much, but I think I should have guessed that one right. As in, I already tried that dram twice and at both occasions I ‘assessed’ it. So, again, … Continue reading

Kildalton 2007, 54.4% – Archives (Fishes of Samoa)
One of the side effects of ordering at Whiskybase is that they generally and generously toss in a couple of wee samples of their Archives range. This means some new things to taste every once in a while, from a … Continue reading

First things first. I have no experience with Ledaig from the 1970s. I do have some experience with Ledaig from the last 20 years or so. I do not like those whiskies. Every time I try one I hope that … Continue reading

Glenrothes 1988, 53% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa
Two more Archives samples to review. This is the second to last. I didn’t pick an order, I just randomly grabbed a sample from my bin. Of course, I selected the Archives first, since those were supplied by a company, … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 1987, 50.2% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa
To follow up on yesterday’s cracking Deanston, I’m going through some more Archives bottlings until Friday. Today’s post goes to a 25 year old Bunnahabhain from a ‘Dark sherry cask’. Bunnahabhain is a distillery who’s product usually goes very well … Continue reading
Deanston 1997, 55.8% – Archives, The Fishes of Samoa
Deanston is a distillery that doesn’t see much play. At least, on the bigger international blogs it pops up every now and then, but in my neck of the woods you have to put it some effort to find anything … Continue reading
