Linkwood 28, 1989-2017, Sherry Cask, 43.7% – Cadenhead Singapore
A quite rare bottle today! It’s a bottling from six-ish years ago and according to Whiskybase its price is still € 225, so I don’t think it has shown up on Whiskybase’s radar since it’s release years ago. Even though … Continue reading
The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay
Recently a new brand of whiskies was brought to my attention (Thanks, Tom) from a bottler called ‘Fable’. I had never heard of them, but what I found out was that they had just released a set of five whiskies … Continue reading
Linkwood 11, 2009-2021, Rum Cask Finish, 58.2% – King Cask
So this, in a way, is a weird one. I know that the cask was transported out of Scotland and into/onto Terschelling, one of the Dutch islands in the north of the country. It was recasked there in a rum … Continue reading
James Eadie bottlings, guided by Trademark X
Ages ago, a while before this entire Corona period started, a representative of the Dutch importer for James Eadie whiskies came by and gave me some samples for reviewing. We talked whisky a little bit, and got to the brand … Continue reading
Adelphi / Whisky Import Nederland Virtual Tasting
Last Friday I participated in the first virtual tasting for Adelphi and Whisky Import Nederland. The tasting was hosted by the Dutch importer and joined by Alex Bruce and Connal Mackenzie from Adelphi. We tried five different drams, four ‘whiskies’ … Continue reading
Linkwood 13, 2006-2020, 58.4% – Signatory Vintage
I think this was the first Linkwood in my collection, ever. It’s a recent release that came out a month or two ago, when the lockdown was just in place and my passion for whisky was rekindling. I might blog … Continue reading
Linkwood 10, 54.2% – The Whisky Exchange Christmas Malt 2019
I was surprised when I opened the package with this sample in it. The Christmas Malt was announced, but in virtually all other situations you’d be finding a dark, sherry matured whisky. Not so in this case! This 10 year … Continue reading
A whisky tasting with Jock Shaw – part 1
Almost two weeks ago I went to a whisky tasting. Apart from the one I organized in April at De Whiskykoning it had been ages since I went, especially one hosted by my local bottle shop, Drinks & Gifts. So, … Continue reading
Hielander Whisky Festival 2016
Yesterday I went to another awesome session of the Hielander Whisky Festival in Alkmaar. I took some pictures, but obviously not of everything I tried. I am far too forgetful for that, and I also don’t want to disclose my … Continue reading
Blind Tasting Competition day 15: Linkwood 1990-2014, 24yo, 57.5% – Adelphi
When I look at the whisky’s we’ve had in the competition so far, with three more days to go, I can barely imagine getting anything but Glenfiddich 12, Caol Ila 12 and a Highland Park 12 for the remaining days. … Continue reading
