Bruichladdich 16, 2003-2020, 51.7% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 20 July 2020 by

Over the years I have developed a soft spot for Bruichladdich. Especially ‘normal’ Bruichladdich. Normal Bruichladdich without the heaps of peat from Octomore and, to a lesser extent, Port Charlotte. Normal Bruichladdich without the exponential amount of weird casks used … Continue reading →

Posted on 10 April 2020 by

When you happen to find something like this in the back of your cupboard, your heart skips a beat. There was so much awesome whisky in the seventies, that has now gotten so expensive that it’s a true rarity for … Continue reading →

Springbank 2004-2015, 51.9% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 31 March 2020 by

It is no secret that I love Springbank. It more or less embodies everything I like so much about the world of whisky. They are a small company that works on a rather local scale without much happening outside of … Continue reading →

Heaven Hill 2001-2015, Sherry Hogshead, 48.9% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 29 September 2019 by

Apart from the fact that this is neither a malt, nor from Scotland, it’s still a pretty interesting twist on things. A pretty well matured Bourbon (at least 13 years old, but matured in a sherry hogshead! That is something … Continue reading →

Inchmurrin 1996-2018, 51% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 31 December 2018 by

I was just checking, but I’ve not reviewed an Inchmurrin since the triptych from the Whisky Nerds came out last year. I’ve had some in between and even guessed on right in a blind tasting I was at, a few … Continue reading →

Heaven Hill 2001-2016, Islay Cask Finish, 53.8% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 17 February 2017 by

Malts of Scotland have released quite a few Heaven Hills over the last couple of years. I know there was a sherry cask finish, a regular one and this Islay cask finish. I think there also was a port finished … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition day 18: Auchentoshan 1998-2014, 16yo, 59.1% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 24 December 2015 by

Today is a weird day. It’s the last day of the competition and I’m sucking every step of the way. My highest score is 50 points, which was for a whisky of which I had the region right and was … Continue reading →

Blind Tasting Competition Day 7: Ailsa Bay 3yo, 68.3% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 13 December 2015 by

Malts of Scotland released this whisky last year and I wanted to get it, but somehow didn’t. It went rather quickly when it came out that this ‘Images of Ayrshire – Dalrymple Bridge’ turned out to be Ailsa Bay. As … Continue reading →

Images of Bartstown, 53.2% – Malts of Scotland

Posted on 3 November 2015 by

Images of Bartstown is a bourbon whiskey from Malts of Scotland. What’s weird is that it’s neither a malt, nor is it from Scotland. Also, Bartstown should be Bardstown, so there’s a typo there. Since they’ve also released a whole … Continue reading →
