Glen Moray 10, 2007, Bourbon Barrel, 46% – Alba Import
Glen Moray is one of those distilleries that tends to have a style that is fairly generic. It makes a perfectly decent Speyside style whisky, but often it doesn’t really make memories. However, some times what comes from the Elgin … Continue reading

Benrinnes 12, 2007-2020, Cask 14358, 54.9% – WIN for Whisky Weekend Twente
Whisky Weekend Twente is one of the many whisky festivals in The Netherlands. It is also one that I’ve never been to, since it’s quite far away (to Dutch standards) and it’s one of those festivals where it’s mostly importers … Continue reading

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
Glenrothes 36, 1986-2022, Bourbon Hogshead 2125, 45.6% – Wu-Dram Clan
Our neighbours to the east keep at it with another rather spectacular release. This time it’s a Glenrothes from the mid-eighties. You don’t get to try whisky this old all that often anymore, so when a sample dropped in the … Continue reading

Hazelburn has come of age. The oldest version out there seems to be 22 years old by now, but this one, released last year, must have been the oldest back then. I feel like an old fart when I say … 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

Two sort-of new rums by The Duchess: Uitvlugt 27 and ‘Savannah’ 19
