Glencadam 1990-2011, 56.6% – Berry Bros & Rudd
Glencadam is, to me at least, one of those distilleries that you’ve tried every now and then, but have never really focused on in one way or another. As in, years ago I tried their official 15 year old and … Continue reading

Longmorn 22, 1969-1991, 43% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Speyburn 26, 1988-2015, Cask 2114, 52.3% – Berry Bros. & Rudd
Speyburn, one of those distilleries that does things more or less the same as they did it when the distillery opened. At least, that’s the way their official bottlings taste. Made more or less infamous by the insessant unwanted marketing … Continue reading

Orkney Island 2005-2020, 14yo, 59.7% – Berry Bros & Rudd for Whiskybase
Of course this is Highland Park. All of the ‘undisclosed’ Orkney whiskies are Highland Park. This one was released sometime during the end of last year and I scored a bottle for bottle-sharing. I ended up with some 10cl for … Continue reading

In seven days I’ll be at Bunnahabhain Distillery, or maybe I’ve just left to go have lunch somewhere. We’ve planned the tour and warehouse tasting and I’m looking forward a lot. I’ve only ever been at the distillery without doing … Continue reading

Just short of greatness
You know that feeling when you are tasting a very, very good whisky, but somehow it just doesn’t cross the magical 90-point threshold? You realize that you’re tasting whisky that’s way above average, but you can’t shake the feeling you … Continue reading
Hielander Whisky Festival 2016
