Glen Moray 13, 2010-2024, Tokaji Wine Finish, 56% –

I was a bit surprised by the spelling of Tokaji, but apparently you can spell it with and without an I at the end. Anyway, I don’t have much experience with this type of cask. I know the Longrow from … Continue reading

Dalmunach 7, 2016, First Fill Buffalo Trace Barrel, 58.4% – Dràm Mòr

Imperial Distillery closed in 1998 after 101 years of service. Several years later, in 2013, the distillery got demolished and in 2015 a new distillery has risen in its place and starts distilling. Not entirely surprising, this distillery is Dalmunach. … Continue reading

Auchroisk 15, 2008-2024, First Fill Bourbon Barrel 816738, 54.1% – Dràm Mòr

Secretly, or maybe not so secretly, there are some true gems among the whiskies that normally end up in blends. Teaninich, Dailuaine, Benrinnes and Auchroisk are some that come to mind instantly, and I’ve had some real belters from those … Continue reading

Duich (Tamdhu) 8, 2016-2024, 1st Fill PX Cask 30369, 57.2% – Dràm Mòr

Apparently Duich is another name for Tamdhu Distillery, to be used by independent bottlers. I didn’t know that until recently, and it’s another one to be added to the dictionary, next to things like Burnside, Westport, and certainly others that … Continue reading

BenRiach 10, 2013-2023, 1st Fill PX Hogshead Finish, 55.5% – Dràm Mòr

Another one I tried at the Hielander Whisky Festival early this year. While chatting to Kenny of Dràm Mòr, we had a couple of drams. Some of them I already knew because of review activities, and wanted to try again … Continue reading

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

Inchfad 16, Bottled in 2023, PX Finish, 53.2% – Dràm Mòr

When Ralfy’s review of this whisky popped up I watched it, and it was the first one I watched in ages. I immediately ordered a bottle (although I should check with the shop, since it’s not in yet). Of course, … Continue reading

Hielander Whisky Festival 2024

Today’s post is going to be a quick photo dump of last Saturday’s afternoon session at the Hielander Whisky Festival. Last year we skipped it due to a family weekend in the Ardennes, but this year we went back to … Continue reading

Ruadh Maor 12, Bottled in 2023, 1st Bourbon Hogshead Finish, 56.4% – Dràm Mòr

Another name that is not a distillery. This time it’s Glenturret’s brand of peated single malts that are not released under their own name. It’s not something that Kenny and Viktorija came up with, some 30 other bottlers use the … Continue reading

Millstone 7, 2016-2023, First Fill Oloroso Hogshead 2636, 53% – Dràm Mòr

As I found out a couple of days ago, a sample of this was underway to me from Dràm Mòr. Apparently either Dutch or British Royal Mail decided that somewhere between 5 to 6 weeks was the right amount of … Continue reading
