Islay Single Malt 13, 2009-2023, 53.3% – Michiel Wigman
This entire thing I’m doing (and many others with me) of whisky blogging is really fun, quite a bit of work and sometimes utterly confusing. Sometimes you try something that you expect everyone to love and it just falls flat. … Continue reading

Westport 21, 1999-2020, American Oak Hogshead 800075, 43.8% – The Whisky Cellar
This is, as whisky fanatics tend to know, a Glenmorangie. With Glenmorangie being a bit more expensive as a brand, it seemed like a good call to pick up a bottle of this, sometime during the pandemic. Glenmorangie 18 is … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain took a page from the Bruichladdich book by rebranding their different styles into different brands. Where Bruichladdich has the distillery name for the unpeated single malt, Port Charlotte for their peated whisky and Octomore for their liquid ashtrays, Bunnahabhain … Continue reading

Benrinnes 10, 2013-2023, Refill Bourbon Hogshead 300745, 57.5% – Dràm Mòr
For a refill bourbon cask whisky, this one has a rather dark hue to it. Without tasting it I would have guessed this to be a sherry cask. If you ever wonder why information on labels is important, here is … Continue reading

Caol Ila 30, 1981-2011, Bourbon cask, 52.9% – Liquid Sun
So, ages ago when I got a bunch of bottles in that were scoring well different than you’d expect by checking the label and bottler, I also got this 30 year old Caol Ila. Early eighties Caol Ila is a … Continue reading
Mannochmore 13, 2010-2023, Bourbon Hogshead 3088, 54.8% – Dràm Mòr
After a couple of weeks of holidaying in France, and bringing quite a bag of samples with me that I barely (barley?) touched, let’s get right back to reviewing some fine drams! The first one of which is another one … Continue reading
Laphroaig 13, 1992-2005, Bourbon Cask 3407, 59.5% – Signatory Vintage
Back when I started my whisky adventure I used to visit De Whiskykoning on a very regular basis (some say a too regular basis). After discovering Islay whiskies and cask strength independent casks, so fairly quickly, I was doubting between … Continue reading

Bruichladdich 22, 1991-2014, Hogshead 2270, 55.9% – Whiskybroker
I was going to start this review by stating that I really like trying Bruichladdichs from before their restart in 2001. That would have been too much information in a way, since I like trying Bruichladdichs no matter what. Maybe … Continue reading

Amrut 5, 2015-2021, Ex-Bourbon Cask 3734, 60% – OB for the Members of Whiskybase
And yes, I got a bottle of this before it sold out, and then never gave it enough priority for a timely review. India is not the first country that comes to mind when thinking about single malt whisky, but … Continue reading

Lagg 3, Kilmory Edition, 2019-2023, ex-Bourbon Barrel, 46%
When Tom’s review of this new Arran based distillery got published, I figured it was his enthusiasm for new distilleries that warranted the high rating of Lagg’s Kilmory Edition. Generally I tend to be a bit less thrilled with these … Continue reading
