Glenlaird 10 and 12, both at 48%
Glenlaid is a new brand by Stravaig Spirits, who also bottle the Tri Carragh line of single casks. More on those single casks soonish. To get a bit of continuity Ryan and Ola decided to not bottle everything as a … Continue reading

Bushmills 21, 2001-2022, Ex-Bourbon Casks, Times 2! – Lichtburg / Rolf Kaspar
I believe it was early 2023 that I put my greasy mitts on these two bottles through the Whiskybase Newsletter. Last week, I decided it was high time that I emptied them. Both whiskies are Irish Single Malts, distilled at … Continue reading

Linkwood 12, 2010-2022, First Fill Bourbon Cask 309279, 55.5% – Finn Thomson
Finn Thomson, not to be confused with the ThomPson brothers, but also a bottler of Scotch whisky. In sort-of fancy hexagonal bottles (or was is an octagon?). Anyway, the bottle came in a tube similarly ‘gonal’, which made the tube … Continue reading

Bruichladdich 15, 2008, Cask 1454, 50% – Stirk Brothers
Back when David Stirk was head-honcho of the Creative Whisky Company there were ups and downs for the bottler. As soon as he did things with normal casks, the whiskies were thoroughly enjoyable, but the ones with the Exclusive Casks … Continue reading

Glenlivet Nàdurra 16, Bottled in 2007, Batch 0407C, 59.7%
Back in the day, when I still was innocent and unspoiled I bought a bottle of this at De Whiskykoning. I absolutely loved it, the fruitiness, the fierceness, the differentiation of what Glenlivet was known for. The entire package spoke … Continue reading

Jameson 18, Bottled in 2018, Bow Street Cask Strength, 55.3%
With this being a slightly more rare Irish whisky, it would make sense that MvZ supplied me with the sample I tried. However, I don’t see his rating on Whiskybase, so I’m second guessing myself. While it’s far from the … Continue reading

Uitvlugt 31, 1991-2023, ‘Time Travel’, Cask 32, 59.2% – Jack Tar
A few months ago I reviewed the sister cask of this one, which I thoroughly loved. So when this sample came in I was pretty thrilled about it! Of course, waiting for the right time took a few weeks but … Continue reading

Blair Athol 14, 1998-2012, Ex-Bourbon Cask AM 007, 47.8% – Asta Morris
A while ago I ordered some ridiculous samples from WhiskySample.nl and with it came this surprise Blair Athol. Asta Morris is a bottler is somehow like but never keep track of. Strange, because the very first experience I had with … Continue reading

Macallan 1998-2009, Bourbon Barrel 1193, 54.9% – Malts of Scotland
It’s been ages since I had a Malts of Scotland bottling, and it’s been even longer since I had a Macallan. I was about to rant a lot about why Macallan is no longer regarded as highly as it was … Continue reading

Bruichladdich 30, 1988-2018, Bourbon Hogshead, 48.9% – Cadenhead’s
Old Bruichladdich can be hit or miss. As in, the distillery was highly inconsistent in the quality of its output spirit. Since the reopening in 2001 it still is but the spirit is far more consistent. The new inconsistency is … Continue reading
