Macallan 1966-1999, 43% – Gordon & MacPhail Speymalt
When an offer comes along buy a sample of a dram like this at an acceptable price, there is no time for doubt. Luckily I was in time to snatch up one of these babies before they sold out at … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 16 – Loch Lomond Craiglodge, 9yo, 45%
This one is DARK. A really rich, and deep brown. Although it shouldn’t mean anything, it does look very appealing. Stuf you really want to drink since it looks utterly delicious. I didn’t score any points today and this time … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 12 – Strathisla 15, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail
Woohoo! I got some points. Not too many, but at least I went up two spots to 41. It kind of makes me cry that I am this happy with such a lousy score, but all is better than nothing … Continue reading

I’ve been blogging about money quite a few times, if I remember correctly. What I didn’t tell so far is that I’ve been overspending in a rather ridiculous way the last year. It’s not that I cannot pay my bills … Continue reading

Imperial 16, 1994-2011, 57.4%, Bottled for The Whisky Shop Dufftown – Gordon & MacPhail Exclusive
Another sample I picked up at Maltstock. I think. I don’t know much about it, but I know I generally enjoy Imperial. Although, I never bougt a drop since I don’t think it is that special after all. It weirdly … Continue reading
Old Pulteney 1991-2009, 56.7%, cask 3643 – Gordon & MacPhail Reserve for Van Wees
A single cask Old Pulteney from a refill sherry butt, bottled for Van Wees and I believe some liquor shops through the Netherlands (The Specialist’s Choice, I think). Don’t mind if I do… Anyway, you don’t come across sherried Pulteneys … Continue reading
Linkwood 1993, 52.8, 19yo – Gordon & MacPhail for Van Wees
This one was an unannounced extra from De Whiskykoning. He thought to throw in an extra kick-ass whisky because he forgot about it at first and the tasting wasn’t ridiculously underpriced enough. There isn’t much to say about this whisky … Continue reading
Imperial 1979, 40% – Gordon & MacPhail
I recently (as in, today) received my newest auction winnings. A curious term, winnings. You didn’t win anything, you were just the idiot that wanted to pay most for something. Anyway, this sample of Imperial is an oldie from the … Continue reading
Glenkinchie 19yo, 1987-2007, 45% – Gordon & MacPhail Secret Stills
The Secret Stills series by Gordon & MacPhail is one for bottlings that are not allowed to bear the distiller’s name. Luckily those bottlings usually have some indicative description that makes you aware from which stills the spirit dripped. In … Continue reading

Just as I did last year, the last week of December is spent on reviewing everything that’s happened during this solar orbit. Yesterday I listed my favorite records of 2012, and today it’s time for the top whiskies. Again, like … Continue reading
