Bodach Aislig, 35 Years Old blended whisky, 1980, 46% – Murray McDavid
When I think of Murray McDavid I think of Bruichladdich’s finishing regime, or ACEing as they like to call it. Random whiskies bottled after being finished in off-kilter wine casks. Caol Ila from a Chateau d’Yquem cask, or anything going … Continue reading

Hielander Whisky Festival 2016
Yesterday I went to another awesome session of the Hielander Whisky Festival in Alkmaar. I took some pictures, but obviously not of everything I tried. I am far too forgetful for that, and I also don’t want to disclose my … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 1987-2015, 28yo, 55% – The Whisky Agency
In 2014 during the Blog Birthday Bash, Teun was kind enough to bring a bottle of 1987 Bunnahabhain. That was one of the more popular drams of the evening and my first encounter with what turns out to be a … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 6yo, 2007-2014, 61.4% – SMWS (10.77, Beware of the Monster)
It’s been a while since I reviewed a random SMWS sample, but this one came up in a grab from my sample box, and I should get through them eventually. Does that indicate that I didn’t really feel like reviewing … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 1968-2006, 38yo, 43.1% – Duncan Taylor Peerless
Lately I’ve been tasting some epic drams, if I may say so. There’s been lots of old stuff, and some really, really good less old stuff. Somehow, I’ve not had that many new releases for a while now. Can’t say … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 1967-2010, 41.1% – Malts of Scotland
This ancient Bunnahabhain has matured in a bourbon hogshead, contrary to a lot of its contemporaries. Properly long aging in bourbon casks can work miracles, if the cask isn’t overly active. A too active cask can make a whisky into … Continue reading
Another iteration of an Usquebaugh Regional Tasting
Every once in a while we do a regional tasting for Usquebaugh Society members. Today was another one themed ‘patience’. That boiled down to mostly bottles from a couple of years ago. In some cases that ‘couple’ is an understatement. … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 1987-2014, 51.3% – Liquid Art (The Osprey)
Another one of those freaky animal/insect mash ups on the label. This time it’s an osprey with a moth body. I wonder how much of the whisky they’ve had before they come up with this stuff… Bunnahabhain is a bit … Continue reading
The annual Islay tasting at De Whiskykoning
The Islay tasting is one of the four seasonal tastings at De Whiskykoning. Officially it’s called the Winter Tasting. The other three are obviously Spring, Summer and Autumn. In that order the themes are Lowlands, Speyside and finally Highlands (and … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain 23yo, 1989-2013, 44% – Abbey Whisky’s Rare Casks
Another pretty well aged whisky. I’ve seen other sites starting to call whisky of some 18 to 30 years old ‘medium aged’. I still consider that pretty old. Just to keep myself from getting to ridiculously spoiled. I also think … Continue reading
