Ben Nevis 25yo, 1984, Cask 98/35/12, 54%
I usually try to find excuses to buy whisky. Generally I also try to celebrate the little things, just to get a little bit more joy out of things that would otherwise go barely noticed. Of course, some things warrant … Continue reading
Clynelish 13yo, 1989-2002, 56%, South African Sherry Butt – Signatory Vintage
Now this is a curious whisky. Technically, if we take all claimed regions and products in account there is no such thing as South African Sherry. Now it’s very possible to create something exactly the same and call it differently … Continue reading

Tobermory 15yo, 46.3%, Limited Edition 2008

Clynelish 2003, 10yo, Le Trou Normand, 61.4% (26.96) – SMWS
Another day, another Clynelish. Or at least, that’s usually how I wish things went. Unfortunately, it’s been ages since I bought a bottle of Clynelish and even longer since I actually opened one. And that for a dram that comes … Continue reading

Clynelish 16yo, Oloroso finish, 54.9% – Darkness!
