Last year, when I was participating in quite a lot of bottle-shares I had just told myself to stop doing that. Then this popped up. I had to have it. Why? It’s Port Charlotte, it’s a peated, sherried dram and … Continue reading

Talisker Port Ruighe, 45.8%
The Talisker Port Ruighe (Portree) is named after the island’s capital town and to make the name a bit of a gimmick they also decided to finish the whisky in port casks. Apart from the town name and the ‘port’ … Continue reading

Kilchoman Port Cask matured, 3yo, 55%
Apparently, young Islay whiskies are ridiculously popular. As I said a short while ago I’m having trouble spending a wad of cash on Kilchoman, since it stings a little bit that I’m shelling out for a three year old. However, … Continue reading
Longrow Red 2014, Fresh Port Casks, 51.8%
As said in a previous post, I’m kind of enamoured with peated whisky from a port cask. Whether it’s a finish or a maturation doesn’t really matter to me, as long as the cask doesn’t fully overpower the whisky. How much … Continue reading

Another wee drop of SMWS booze. Let’s hope this one is more to my liking than yesterday’s Highland Park. Laphroaig is a bit of a strange whisky. There’s quite a lot of independent bottlings out there, as well as an … Continue reading

Highland Park 1999, 11yo, 56.6%, Sherbet Fountains and Rainbow Drops – SMWS (4.158)
Due to quite a lot of sample buying and sharing from and with whisky buddies in England, I’ve gotten my hand on some SMWS samples. Apparently the SMWS there is loads more fun than it is in The Netherlands. Bummer … Continue reading

Glenfarclas Dark Oloroso Cask, 1980-2002, 21yo, 53%
Every couple of years something strange happens in The Netherlands. For some reason, from some warehouse, a pallet of whisky pops up that everyone had forgotten about. A couple of years ago (I think it was 2008) it was Brora … Continue reading
