Dufftown 22, 1998-2021, Hogshead 13083, 52% – Archives for Shinanoya
Together with the Burnside from two weeks ago, this was another bottling by Archives that flew to the other end of the world to be distributed and happily drank. Not to Canada, but to Japan, this time. I was not … Continue reading
The Brexiteer 27yo, 1991-2019, American Oak Barrel 7389, 46% – Whisky Center
The other sample I got sent from Whisky Center is The Brexiteer. A burnside blended malt, which we all know to be teaspooned Balvenie. Officially not a single malt but the amount of Glenfiddich in it is negligable, so it … Continue reading

Dufftown 1979, 18yo, 57.1% – Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection
When you see the whisky the ‘Sherrywood Matured’ on the label is kind of self explanatory. The whisky, in the bottle, is almost as dark as coffee, and even in the glass there’s quite some color to it. Also, as … Continue reading
