Gerston, 46% – Lost Distillery
The third and last bottling from The Lost Distillery Project. This time it’s about the Gerston release, from a distillery by that name in Caithness. It started it’s life as a popular farm distillery but was replaced by ‘Gerston two’ … Continue reading
Auchnagie, 46% – Lost Distillery
The second whisky of the three that are available now. It’s also the second of the three reviews of them. The first one, the Stratheden, was very Arran like. I liked it quite a bit. In that post I wrote … Continue reading

Stratheden, 46% – Lost Distillery
Lost Distillery is a project of, as the name suggests, lost distilleries. Not that it is going after casks from Brora, Port Ellen or even more rare stuff like Kinclaith and such. What it tries to do is something completely … Continue reading

Bottoms Up!
Tonight a couple of friends and I are going to try and get my open-bottle-count down somewhat. Since I’ve been trying to do this on my own last year I found that a) it doesn’t work that well, and b) … Continue reading

GlenDronach 21 Parliament, 48%
I’m starting to be a right GlenDronach addict. Quite weird for someone who generally says he prefers bourbon casks. Also, I’ve never really tasted those really old and expensive ones. Usually I stall around the early nineties and everything older … Continue reading
Highland Park 21, 47.5%
I was able to pick up this bottle some years ago, before they went down to 40%, so way before they went back up to 47.5%. My sister went somewhere through duty free and called which bottle to bring. This … Continue reading

Ledaig 7yo, 2005, 62.8% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa
First things first. I have no experience with Ledaig from the 1970s. I do have some experience with Ledaig from the last 20 years or so. I do not like those whiskies. Every time I try one I hope that … Continue reading

Deanston 1997, 55.8% – Archives, The Fishes of Samoa
Deanston is a distillery that doesn’t see much play. At least, on the bigger international blogs it pops up every now and then, but in my neck of the woods you have to put it some effort to find anything … Continue reading
Ben Nevis 1984-2002, 61.2% – Blackadder Raw Cask
It’s been ages since I properly reviewed a Blackadder whisky, and for some reason it’s been even longer since I ever bought one. Come to think of it, the last one I bought was the 1981 Lochside, probably back in … Continue reading

Glenmorangie 1974-1999, for duty free, 43%
Another one of the samples that I got from Stefan van der Boog, together with the Macallan one. Of course you have to buy more than one thing, since postage has to be made the most of. I don’t have … Continue reading
