Lagavulin 12yo, 55.1% – Diageo Premium Release 2013

Lagavulin Friends of the Classic Malts, 48%, 2013 edition

Caol Ila 1996, 18yo, 62.2% – Masterpieces by Speciality Drinks Ltd.
While I don’t mind people taking credit for what they’ve done, or in this case picked from the available options, however, calling something you did yourself is kind of presumptuous. However, I should have bought last year’s Clynelish since it’s … Continue reading

4 Rosebanks in a row
I almost wrote Four Roses, but that would be rather misleading. Especially for a post like this. Probably the most Serge Valentin-esque post I’m ever going to do with four rather different whiskies from one distillery. I was not able … Continue reading
