Kornog 2006-2022, Barrel 12107, 50.9% – Berry Bros. & Rudd

Hielander Whisky Festival 2015
I realized a while ago that this 5th edition of the Hielander Whisky Festival is also the fifth time I’m there. So so far I didn’t miss a single one. I think this is something to keep up. This year, … Continue reading

Another resolution regarding samples (+ three reviews)
I forgot to add one more resolution in the earlier post. In one of my cupboards filled with whisky related crap there is a huge box of samples. Most of what’s in there is very random and has been sitting there … Continue reading

Uberach W.L.P 10th edition 2013 46,7% – Distillerie Bertrand
This is truly something rare. The final dram in the French Whisky Twitter Tasting was by far the darkest so a massive sherry bomb was expected. The WLP edition, which stands for Whisky Live Paris is a vatting of left … Continue reading

Armorik Double Maturation, 46%, non filtré à froid
With a tag like ‘non filtré à froid’ I just couldn’t get myself to translate it to non-chillfiltered. This is much more pretty if you ask me. The double maturation bit in this whisky’s name is for Breton oak and … Continue reading

G.Rozelieures Rare Collection, 40%, un-chilfiltered – La Maison de la Mirabelle
Yes, that actually IS a whisky. I can’t blame anyone for not knowing since I never heard of it either. At least, until last Thursday when Franck Debernardi from La Cave de Cobalt hosted a Twitter Tasting to celebrate his … Continue reading
