Littlemill 25, Oloroso Sherry cask finish, 50.4% – Private Cellar Edition
A while ago a call was launched on Facebook and Twitter to find people willing to taste and blog about the new Littlemill 25 year old that’s just been released. Obviously, a lot of bloggers reacted and so did I. … Continue reading
Glen Keith 1995-2014, 19yo, 56.3% – Chivas Brothers, CS Edition
With Glen Keith it’s always a bit of a guess whether you’ll find the bottles in a web shop’s closed distilleries section or not. Technically, it’s not a closed distillery any more, but the sales that come from that term … Continue reading

Rosebank 1975-2005, 30yo, 54.8% – Silver Seal, Sestante Collection
Ever since I tried a 12 year old Rosebank Flora & Fauna some ten years ago this Lowlands distillery has been a favorite of mine. I think it’s a shame it’s gone and there is no other distillery that comes … Continue reading

Millburn 1975-2001, 25yo, 61.9% – Rare Malts
Millburn is one of those distilleries that you don’t come across often. I think most bottlers have had a bottle or two in their day, but it’s never been a high roller. I only ever had one bottle of an … Continue reading

Littlemill 1990, 22yo, 56% – Whiskybase (40,000 bottles on the wall)
I’ve traded some Whiskybase samples recently, and wanted to try this wee Littlemill of theirs. I know one of the guys who runs the shop is a huge Littlemill fan and with the releases of the last couple of years … Continue reading

Port Ellen 1979-2010, 30 years old, 51.9% – Mackillop’s Choice
I don’t get to taste Port Ellen all that much, which was slightly different a couple of years ago. This is mostly because of the rather ridiculous price tag that comes with every bottle. Ever since Diageo started increasing the … Continue reading

Glenlochy 27yo, 1980-2007, 54.8% – Duncan Taylor, Rarest of the Rare
Another sample I traded with whisky buddy Martin. Another one to open my eyes to my own mistakes. Strangely enough, I just read a post by ‘My Annoying Opinions’ on regretting not buying better whisky when it was still available. … Continue reading

Glenugie 1980-2010, 29yo, 43.4% – SMWS (99.11 Tickled by ‘monstera deliciosa’)
Glenugie bottlings are incredibly hard to come by. While the distillery closed in 1983 like some 25 others there never was much of this to go around, far less than Port Ellen and Brora and the likes. And those two … Continue reading
