Blind Tasting Competition 15: Bladnoch 21yo, 1992-2004, 54.9% – Cadenhead Small Batch
And so the free call commences again. Sniff: This starts with grassy and floral notes, in a way that makes me think of Islay more than the Lowlands. Quite light and watery, but that might also be volatility. I’ve been … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 12 – Strathisla 15, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail
Woohoo! I got some points. Not too many, but at least I went up two spots to 41. It kind of makes me cry that I am this happy with such a lousy score, but all is better than nothing … Continue reading

Bladnoch 10, 1992-2002, 58.5% – James MacArthur’s
The second whisky in the Spring Tasting at De Whiskykoning was another Bladnoch, distilled in more or less the same period, but bottled ten years ago, at cask strength. When this came out it received a silver medal from the … Continue reading
Bladnoch 20, 46%
This first whisky in yesterday’s “Spring Whisky Tasting” at De Whiskykoning was the Bladnoch 20. A rather good start to just about any tasting to start with some 20 year old stuff. Bladnoch is a bit of a strange distillery … Continue reading
Bottle-share uitslag
Nu alle bottle-share flessen nogmaals geproefd zijn en de aanvankelijke proefnotities zijn aangevuld met wat uitgebreider materiaal rest er weinig meer dan een lijstje te maken van de uitslag. De top 10 (uit 10) whisky’s, welke vind ik het lekkerst … Continue reading
