Westport 21, 1999-2020, American Oak Hogshead 800075, 43.8% – The Whisky Cellar
This is, as whisky fanatics tend to know, a Glenmorangie. With Glenmorangie being a bit more expensive as a brand, it seemed like a good call to pick up a bottle of this, sometime during the pandemic. Glenmorangie 18 is … Continue reading
Glenmorangie Allta, Private Edition, 51.2%
Back when Private Editions from Glenmorangie were still a thing, they occasionally did something interesting with the series. Half of their ‘innovative’ bottlings were just using a different wine cask or a specific sherry cask. Nothing new under the sun … Continue reading
Westport 12, 2004-2016, Sherry Butt 900053, 54.3% – Wilson & Morgan

I somehow don’t review too many Glenmorangies, while I do really like the distillery’s output. This not reviewing many is mostly because their core range is very stable and they don’t do too many special releases. Also, a lot of … Continue reading

In his recent guest post, Shai called Glenmorangie Signet ‘his favorite whisky he likes to drink, but not buy’. I found that a curious statement, but it got me thinking about it. When Signet came out, I guess about a … Continue reading
Good whisky and good times at the Lufthansa First Class Terminal
To keep the posts flowing, I’ve come to realize that guest posts are a helpful thing. If I’m not mistaken, it has only happened once before, in eight years time. Today sees the second one. My friend Shai, sometimes mentioned … Continue reading
