A few months ago I reviewed the sister cask of this one, which I thoroughly loved. So when this sample came in I was pretty thrilled about it! Of course, waiting for the right time took a few weeks but … Continue reading

Laphroaig Yggdrasil 26, 1996-2022, Cask 5391, 48.7% – Jack Tar
Yggdrasil, the world tree in Norse mythology, is based in peat, or so it seems! This very old Laphroaig is bottled by Jack Tar, a Polish bottler that is rather focused on mythology themed bottlings. Not only of whisky, but … Continue reading

Uitvlugt 30, 1991-2022, ‘Dreamcatcher’, Cask 3, 56% – Jack Tar
When digging through tasting notes I found this one from a sample I got a LONG time ago. Back in the day I probably thought it was a good idea to wait with posting this until I had something to … Continue reading
Vallein Tercinier L’Attente Lot 52, 70yo, 1952-2022, Cognac Grande Champagne, 43.9% – Jack Tar & Lux Coin
With collectors being collectors, and some collector diversifying into different collections, it’s not too surprising that a bottler of collectable and rare spirits pairs with a creator of rare and collectable coins. The difference is mainly that the rare spirits … Continue reading

Enmore Alpha & Omega 1988/1990, casks 40, 42 and 55, 51.6% – Jack Tar
Enmore Distillery in Guyana is an interesting one. With a quite well known brand in El Dorado, they also produce some different distillates, from the range of their setups. With that I mean that they don’t have a single distilling … Continue reading
Vallein Tercinier ‘Rencontre’ 60yo, 1962, Single Dame Jeanne, 42.6% – OB for Jack Tar & Lux Coin
So, apart from this being a ridiculously old Cognac, there’s more to the story. The guys that run Jack Tar bought a bottle of Cognac in auction a few years ago, a bottle that was about 260 years old. It … Continue reading

Glenlivet 25, 1995-2020, American Oak Barrel 9480, 55.3% – OB for Jack Tar
‘OB for Jack Tar’ doesn’t really cover it, since it’s indeed an OB, but selected by La Maison du Whisky, under private label for Jack Tar, for the Chinese market. That doesn’t really fit the title, though. Anyway. Glenlivet is … Continue reading

Aberlour 21, 1999-2020, 1st Fill American Oak Barrel 3856, 51.2% – OB for Poland
This bottle is a bottling for the Polish market, selected by La Maison du Whisky, and bought by Jack Tar Holding. Obviously, I didn’t put that in the title, because it would be a three line heading. Anyway, this sample … Continue reading
