Glen Grant 26, 1995-2021, Bourbon Barrel, 50.6% – Whisky Sponge
We all know Whisky Sponge for the fairly hilarious blog posts from a while ago. Hilarious if you are a bit embedded in the whisky world and know who and what all references refer to. It seems to have gone … Continue reading
Glen Grant 25, 1993-2018, 50.8% – Cadenhead’s Club

Cadenhead’s bottle-share
Towards the end of last October I did yet another ‘last’ bottle share of the year. The last one because I had been stressing my wallet, and everyone else’s in my sharing group. Of course, that wasn’t true and I … Continue reading

Black Bull 40 #1, Black Bull 40 #4 and a rant on Black Bull 40
A lot of bull in this post, and that might be interpreted in multiple ways. Which is a good thing. A bit of ambiguity never hurt anyone. I think it was last week that I saw announcements for the new release … Continue reading

My favorite whiskies of 2014
I started doing my end-of-year lists yesterday with the music one. I love doing that since it makes me reconsider what I’m listening to for a large part of every day, and everybody else does their lists first so I get … Continue reading

Glen Grant 1985-2012, 26yo, 55.6% – Exclusive Malts, Creative Whisky Company
A while ago I went to a club meeting and Leon Zonneveld, of “Uw Top Whisky” fame (which is considerable among whisky geeks in The Netherlands) brought me some bottles. I paid for them, and shipping which I didn’t need. … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 6 – Balvenie Triple Cask 16yo, 40%
