Clynelish 12, 2010-2023, 1st Fill ex-Bourbon Barrel, 58.7% – SMWS 26.126 (Madeleine a la Plage)

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

Tomatin Meets Sherry, Oloroso and PX Editions, 57.9% and 53.4%
I’ve reviewed this set before, almost a decade ago. Back then I wrote short notes on both the sherry and the whisky, but this time I’m only looking at the whisky side of things. I rebought these last year because … Continue reading

Ben Nevis 22, 1996-2019, Refill Sherry Cask 980, 55% – Adelphi
Such great memories. Ben Nevis from the mid-nineties that was sort of affordable. And by sort of affordable I mean it still set you back north of € 200, but at least it was just shy of € 500, which … Continue reading
