Ardnamurchan Release 3, AD/04.21:03, 46.8%
The third release of Ardnamurchan was released last week. In the Netherlands at least. Of course, the shops that had it first sold out instantly, and by the end of the week the rush was already over and it’s available … Continue reading

Clynelish 24, 1996-2020, Bourbon Hogshead WN001, 54.9% – WhiskyNerds
There’s a couple of these newish bottlers out there that are going for quality instead of quantity. Of course, officially they all go for quality, but I think y’all know what I mean when I say this. Most of them … Continue reading

Guest post: Strathean 3, 2016-2019, Single Malt Batch 1, 46.6%
If I had known Ruben was going to publish his tasting notes to the first batch of Strathearn, I would not have sat on Tom’s notes on the same whisky one day too long. In short, it would have been … Continue reading

Ben Nevis 9, 2011-2020, Bourbon Barrels, 46% – Signatory Vintage
When a new Ben Nevis pops up, I am automatically enthusiastic, since most of them are very good nowadays. When that one is young I get a little bit less thrilled, but when it’s only about € 40, that kind … Continue reading

Secret Highland 12, 2007-2020, Hogshead, 47.8% – The Whisky Agency
As far as bottlers go, The Whisky Agency operates in the top layer of them. There’s some others up there, but not many. So, when a joint bottling with Heads & Tails came out, I got a little bit thrileld. … Continue reading

Glen Albyn 1976-2012, Refill Sherry Butts, 43% – Gordon & MacPhail
Jon Beach’s Advent Calendar wouldn’t be complete without a dram of all three former Inverness distilleries! The other two are reviewed already (Millburn and Glen Mhor), but the Glen Albyn was still lying in wait. To be honest I am … Continue reading

Ben Nevis MacDonald’s Traditional, 46%
In a recent sample exchange, Tom chucked in a sample of this Ben Nevis NAS. In recent years this distillery has become much more popular up to a level that their regular 10 years old is more often sold out … Continue reading
Clynelish 1988-2012, 23yo, Cask ES 009/04, 50% – The First Editions
In a recent purchase I got my hands on some weird older bottles of random distilleries. Some were bottle-shared, some were reserved for tastings, but from all of them I kept a sample for proper assessment. When, in that set … Continue reading
