Old Pulteney, 1999-2019, 19yo, 56.5% – Gordon & MacPhail

Speyburn 1989-2013, 46% – Gordon & MacPhail

BenRiach 1969, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Connoisseurs Choice
While BenRiach is rapidly becoming one of my favourite distilleries (as are all that I taste a couple good drams of), it’s always lovely to taste where it all comes from. How whisky from now compare with ones from decades … Continue reading

Two ancient Longmorns
To kick off a week and a bit of Longmorn reviews, a combined post of one full review and one very short one. I got into a bit of an odd situation when Govert, one of the ‘Longmorn Brothers‘ and … Continue reading
