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

Millburn 1978-2008, 46% – Gordon & MacPhail Rare Vintage
A bottle of Millburn was my first ‘expensive’ whisky, years ago. It unfortunately set a precedent and things have been going in every which way since. I remember trying that bottle based on a sample Rob Stevens, of De Whiskykoning … Continue reading

Glen Mhor 1980-2011, Refill Sherry Butts, 43% – Gordon & MacPhail Rare Vintage
Yet another obscure whisky from the Fiddler’s Advent Calendar. It has been a few years since I tried any Glen Mhor, which is not strange considering the place has been closed for 38 years. This gentle 43% whisky was bottled … Continue reading

Glen Mhor 1963, 25 years old, 40% – Sestante

Millburn 1975-2001, 25yo, 61.9% – Rare Malts
Millburn is one of those distilleries that you don’t come across often. I think most bottlers have had a bottle or two in their day, but it’s never been a high roller. I only ever had one bottle of an … Continue reading

Glen Ord 16, 48.4% – Douglas Laing’s Old Particular
Or, Old Perpendicular according to The Whisky Sponge. I tried to do some research into old and new perpendicularity, but I couldn’t find much differences. I had to give up at some point so there’s no actual result there. What … Continue reading
