Benrinnes 10, 2013-2024, Refill Palo Cortado cask, 54.3% – Dràm Mòr
It’s been a shamefully long time since I got this sample in the mail. Viktorija and Kenny were kind enough to send some samples from the batch from spring to me and I left them hanging. There have been personal … Continue reading

Cragganmore 38, 1985-2023, Refill American Oak Hogshead 601269, 45.3% – Cask of Distinction for Wu Dram Clan
This truly is something special. There have only been four older Cragganmores ever, and with this one coming from the guys at Wu Dram Clan, my expectations are soaring. Cragganmore is one of those distilleries that never really disappoints, but … Continue reading

Clynelish 12, Hand Filled Distillery Exclusive, Bourbon Cask, 58.9%
Even though when I was there no Hand Filled Exclusive was available, I got my hands on a sample of an earlier edition. I tend to love Clynelish, and therefore I try to get my hands on the occasional sample. … Continue reading

Clynelish 16, Four Corners of Scotland, 49.3%
About 11 months ago I visited Clynelish distillery with the male section of my in-laws. We’d been planning a trip to Scotland for years, but everybody kept having kids (me included) which meant leaving the family to fend for themselves … 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

Yet another Dràm Mòr whisky from the recent batch of samples they sent over. This time it’s a Blair Athol from a bourbon cask. Matured for eleven years since 2011, so a very recent bottling. Blair Athol, in my experience, … Continue reading

Lagavulin 13, Islay Jazz Festival 2021, Ex-Mezcal Casks, 54.8%
Much like the Lagavulin I reviewed a little while back, Tom has already reviewed this one on MaltFascination too. While he and I often draw similar conclusions, we do have different palates. I likes the High Char Port Finish a … Continue reading

Lagavulin 19, Feis Ile 2019, Sherry Treated American Oak Casks, 53.8%
Another Lagavulin for Feis Ile! I knew I had this on the shelf, and I had carefully sipped from my sample before, but never got around to writing a review yet. A good thing that a holiday came up a … Continue reading
