Port & Peat – A small bottle share
A couple of years ago in a whisky magazine, I can’t remember which one, I read an article about port casks being the new sherry casks. The main reason behind this train of thought was that Port still pretty popular, … Continue reading
Campbeltown Loch 30, 40%
Several years ago I bought this bottle after tasting it and mistaking it for a single malt. I’d like to say I’ve come a long way since then, but I guess that’s just wishful thinking. In this case I feel … Continue reading

Springbank 12, Cask Strength, 2013 edition, 53.1%
I started to type up this whisky review vigorously, when I decided to see how this bottling compares to the earlier one I had tried, about a year ago at De Whiskykoning. As it turns out, it’s exactly the same … Continue reading
Bottoms Up!
Tonight a couple of friends and I are going to try and get my open-bottle-count down somewhat. Since I’ve been trying to do this on my own last year I found that a) it doesn’t work that well, and b) … Continue reading

A short impression of De Whiskykoning’s Bottoms-Up tasting
Yesterday was the annual Bottoms Up tasting. I was invited becaus I went to (or brought enough people to) tastings last year. I hope I make it again for next year. I didn’t take any in depth notes because I … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 13 – Longrow 16, Fresh Manzanilla Sherry, 56.1%
By now the competition has lost most of its fun to me. There’s barely any regular cask in this year’s line-up which means it’s ridiculously hard to guess what’s what. For some reason quite some others who score much more … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition 5 – Kilkerran Work in Progress 5, 9yo, Sherry Wood
A whisky I reviewed only a few weeks ago. I wasn’t overly thrilled back then but for some reason I liked it even less this time. Sniff: Heavy and cloying with hints of cheese and quite a bit of oak. … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 3 – Mortlach 18yo, 55.2%, 1994-2012 – Malts of Scotland
Day three, on which I got another nice 40 points. For the age this time. I had that spot on. The distillery guess was another massive failure and a regrettable one. Why regrettable? At some point during yesterday I imagined … Continue reading
