Orkney Island 2005-2020, 14yo, 59.7% – Berry Bros & Rudd for Whiskybase
Of course this is Highland Park. All of the ‘undisclosed’ Orkney whiskies are Highland Park. This one was released sometime during the end of last year and I scored a bottle for bottle-sharing. I ended up with some 10cl for … Continue reading

Arran 19, 1996-2015, 48.8% – Gleann Mór A Rare Find
Gleann Mór is one of those bottlers that are not available in The Netherlands, as far as I know. What put them on my radar quite a few years ago was that they bottled a Lagavulin. It’s virtually unheard of … Continue reading

Ledaig 2007-2015, 8yo, 52.3% – Beacon Spirits
It’s with shame that I start this review. I got this sample from Bert Dexters, of Beacon Spirits, years ago and have completely missed it in reviewing. My sincere apologies, Bert. A young Ledaig as we have seen quite regularly … Continue reading
