Ben Nevis 27, 1990-2018, 58.9% – Le Gus’t
Be warned, this is going to be one of those contrary reviews that I’ve been doing lately. When I did the Ben Nevis bottle-share, almost 18 months ago, I also picked up this port pipe ‘finished’ 27 year old with … Continue reading

Ben Nevis 1996-2015, 46% – Cooper’s Choice

Ben Nevis 1996-2017, 20yo, 46% – Edinburgh Whisky Ltd.

Blind Tasting Competition Day 4: Ben Nevis 18, 1995-2013, 51.8% – The Whisky Agency
After yesterday’s disappointing zero-pointer I had to put in another semi-random guess. I waited with today’s distillery selection until after the results, but since I tasted the whisky on Monday I wasn’t overly sharp on specifics anymore. Apparently, I wasn’t … Continue reading
Glenlochy 27yo, 1980-2007, 54.8% – Duncan Taylor, Rarest of the Rare
Another sample I traded with whisky buddy Martin. Another one to open my eyes to my own mistakes. Strangely enough, I just read a post by ‘My Annoying Opinions’ on regretting not buying better whisky when it was still available. … Continue reading
