Bunnahabhain 11, 2009-2021, 53.3% – Michiel Wigman (They Inspired II)
From the second series of Michiel Wigman’s They Inspired range comes this Bunnahabhain. I had a bit of a shock when it was released since I had just started participating in his ‘you get every bottle’ program, and suddenly there … Continue reading

Ailsa Bay 2011 / Ben Nevis 2012 (The Duchess)
I right up stole that title from Thijs’ blog… The Duchess is releasing two new single cask whiskies today. Most likely at noon, which is five minutes from typing this, and probably a couple of minutes ago by the time … Continue reading

Three Cognacs from Michiel Wigman
And with Cognac, I mean two official Cognacs and one that cannot be called Cognac because it was sent to the UK in a cask before being bottled there. It has to be bottled in the Cognac area to be … Continue reading

Mortlach 7, 2016-2023, PX Matured, 54.7% – The Duchess
Why is this one not available anywhere, you say? That is mostly because this is not out yet, much like last week’s BenRiach. It’s going to be out 9 February, but even then you’ll be hard pressed to find this … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain Mòine 15, 2005-2021, PX Finish, 55.3% – The Duchess
Things are getting a bit embarrassing. The eighth dram in the Blind Tasting Competition was one I also had recently, I wrote tasting notes to it this summer. Admittedly, it’s been a bit longer than I thought it was, but … Continue reading

Caroni 31, 1991-2023, Cask 6, 54.1% – The Duchess ‘Nautilus’
The Duchess is at it again, and have bottled another cask of Caroni. And not one of those Caronis from the last years of the distillery, but one from 1991! A 31 year old rum is nothing to scoff at … Continue reading

Islay Single Malt 13, 2009-2023, 53.3% – Michiel Wigman
This entire thing I’m doing (and many others with me) of whisky blogging is really fun, quite a bit of work and sometimes utterly confusing. Sometimes you try something that you expect everyone to love and it just falls flat. … Continue reading

Bunnahabhain Mòine 15, 2005-2021, PX Finish, 55.3% – The Duchess
This time it’s not Archives’ tropical fish, generally from around Samoa, but a more ‘local’ series of animals. Animals found in the United Kingdom, if I’m not mistaken, from Dutch independent bottler The Duchess. The label is, not entirely surprising, … Continue reading

Longmorn 10, 2011-2022, 52.4% – Michiel Wigman ‘They Inspired’ (part deux)
So, back in April I reviewed Michiel’s latest escapade by tasting his Longmorn 10 from 2011. As said in that post, I should have added water but I didn’t, even though I was specifically instructed to do so. Michiel being … Continue reading

Teeling 19, White Wine Finish, 56% – OB for Michiel Wigman
Contrary to almost all bottlings by Michiel Wigman, this is an official bottling done for him, instead of an indie bottling done by the man himself. To stay in line with the whisky icons of the ‘They Inspired III’ series, … Continue reading
