Yesterday Bowmore organized a Twitter tasting with three new whiskies they’re releasing in Travel Retail. There was some confusion to what was exactly happening since there was some unclear communication about several events they are organizing. After that was cleared … Continue reading

Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition 1986-2002, 43%
Ever since I tried it for the first time in Café Terminus in Den Bosch, I’ve loved this dram. Back then, the dram (sizeable as it was) set me back € 8, which at the time was a small fortune. … Continue reading
Bowmore 12, 2001-2013, 52.9% – Liquid Library
I rarely buy bottles from The Whisky Agency, and I have been wanting to do a bottle-share with some for ages. It just doesn’t seem to happen for some reason. When I did buy a bottle last year, my good … Continue reading

Kilchoman Inaugural Release, 2009, 3yo, 46%
I’ve had this bottle ever since it came out and I even opened it rather quickly after I bought it. Strangely, I opened it to give someone else a sample and never tasted it myself. Kind of silly, but there’s … Continue reading
Bowmore Laimrig, 53.7%, 15yo, 2012 edition
Bowmore Laimrig. Another whisky named after something you can see from the distillery. In this case the pier. Of course in Gaelic. Personally, I don’t really care for all the Gaelic names for whiskies, but on the other hand, any … Continue reading
Bunnahabhain 1987, 50.2% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa
To follow up on yesterday’s cracking Deanston, I’m going through some more Archives bottlings until Friday. Today’s post goes to a 25 year old Bunnahabhain from a ‘Dark sherry cask’. Bunnahabhain is a distillery who’s product usually goes very well … Continue reading
