Inchfad 16, Bottled in 2023, PX Finish, 53.2% – Dràm Mòr
When Ralfy’s review of this whisky popped up I watched it, and it was the first one I watched in ages. I immediately ordered a bottle (although I should check with the shop, since it’s not in yet). Of course, … Continue reading

Blair Athol 14, 1998-2012, Ex-Bourbon Cask AM 007, 47.8% – Asta Morris
A while ago I ordered some ridiculous samples from WhiskySample.nl and with it came this surprise Blair Athol. Asta Morris is a bottler is somehow like but never keep track of. Strange, because the very first experience I had with … Continue reading

Ardnamurchan 6, 2016-2023, 1st Fill American Oak PX Sherry Butt, 60.6% – SMWS 149.3 (A Walk in the Woods)
Even though I think Ardnamurchan is a distillery that is doing very, very well, they don’t often find their way to my shelf. It maybe has to do with me not paying attention, or simply that there’s so much out … Continue reading

Glen Garioch ‘The Birds’ 1975-1990, Oak Cask 5910, 46% – Moon Import
This whisky was bottled when I was, most likely, eight years old. Ever since then it has started to gather legendary status and currently it sits comfortably at a 91 point score at Whiskybase. Interestingly, Moon Import seems to be … Continue reading

Clynelish 12, 2010-2023, 1st Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel, 58.7% – SMWS 26.126 (Madeleine a la Plage)
It’s been ages since I bought a bottle from SMWS. I tried some over the years but, and I think I’ve stated this before, it feels a bit silly to pay for a membership to a club to be allowed … Continue reading

Highland Single Malt 22, 1996-2023, Refill Bourbon Vatting Cask CD1-18, 54.7% – C. Dully Selection
I had, until recently, never heard of the C. Dully Selection, but it turns out to be a bottler from Switzerland. They’re trying to supply their friends and customers with old fashioned styles of whisky. The likes of which are … Continue reading

Teaninich 11, 2010-2022, Ex-Stout Barrel, 53.9% – Thompson Brothers
Whisky from beer casks always peeks my interest. I’m not entirely sure why, because on average, the experiences have not been great. The IPA cask from Chichibu was a very welcome exception and still a stellar dram. When this ‘Phil … Continue reading

Ardlair 9, St. Emilion Finish, 50% – Glaschu Spirits Co.
Ardlair seems to be more of a thing, the last couple of years. It’s a second brand from Ardmore distillery in which they do not peat their barley before distilling. So unpeated Ardmore, instead of the regular stuff. This version … Continue reading

Cadenhead’s 10th Anniversary Sherry Pack: Ord, Ben Nevis and Caol Ila
Apparently the Cadenhead’s Club exists for 10 years. In that time there have been a couple of bottlings, although the last few were unable to be shipped to the Netherlands, or prohibitively expensive to have shipped and allowed into the … Continue reading
