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

Blind Tasting Competition 6: Lochside 1991-2008, 46% – Gordon & MacPhail for the Whiskytalker
After this day we’re over a third of the competition in. So far I don’t consider I’m doing badly, although I am quite jealous of other people’s scores. Still, I can wrap my head around this being for fun better … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition 5: Benromach 10, 43%
Yesterday was a very good day for me with scoring 80 points. That is more than I scored in a week last year. Today, I just hope to get some points. I try to trust my palate and refrain from … Continue reading

Ledaig 16yo, 1997-2013, 56.8% – Gordon and Macphail for The Whisky Exchange
Ledaig and Tobermory, a distillery that supposedly releases some kick-ass drams every now and then, but one that I’ve never fallen in love with. I’ve tried quite a lot of the young Ledaigs from a couple years ago and can’t … Continue reading

Glentauchers 16yo, 1997-2013, 54.3% – Gordon and Macphail for The Whisky Exchange
The long titles to blog posts seem to be becoming a theme. Maybe I should just review some drams that were regular OBs instead of private casks by independent bottlers. Anyway, Glentauchers is a distillery that’s mostly used in Ballantines … Continue reading

Benromach 1976-2012, 46%
When the guys read my rather enthusiastic review of their Benromach 10 year old, they apparently were kind of thrilled. I got an email asking whether or not I would like to receive a sample of their 1976 vintage for … Continue reading
Glen Grant 66yo, 1948-2014, 46.6% by Gordon & MacPhail, for Wealth Solutions
For the third year in a row I’ve been picked to receive a review sample of Wealth Solutions‘ epic annual release of whisky. Wealth Solutions has, since it’s start in 2007, become a big player in Poland for people of … Continue reading

Benromach 10, 43%, 2014 edition
Benromach has never really been on my radar. I have tried some before, but that’s been years. I liked that one, I think, but for some reason I never decided to put any money in their coffers. Even when I … Continue reading
4 Rosebanks in a row
I almost wrote Four Roses, but that would be rather misleading. Especially for a post like this. Probably the most Serge Valentin-esque post I’m ever going to do with four rather different whiskies from one distillery. I was not able … Continue reading

BenRiach 1969, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Connoisseurs Choice
While BenRiach is rapidly becoming one of my favourite distilleries (as are all that I taste a couple good drams of), it’s always lovely to taste where it all comes from. How whisky from now compare with ones from decades … Continue reading
