Ben Nevis 25yo, 1984, Cask 98/35/12, 54%
I usually try to find excuses to buy whisky. Generally I also try to celebrate the little things, just to get a little bit more joy out of things that would otherwise go barely noticed. Of course, some things warrant … Continue reading

Catching up! I already wrote the tasting notes below so I could easily publish them from my holiday address, and then I forgot all about it. That must mean the weekend has been good, right? The drawback is that I … Continue reading
