Three Cognacs from Michiel Wigman

Wardhead 23, 1997-2020, 52.1% – Michiel Wigman

As far as blended malts go, this one keeps things very close. It’s 99.999% Glenfiddich with a teaspoon of Balvenie, if that has even been added and not only stated to have been added. Anyway, it’s not the first Wardhead, … Continue reading

Islay Single Malt 13, 2009-2023, 53.3% – Michiel Wigman

Longmorn 10, 2011-2022, 52.4% – Michiel Wigman ‘They Inspired’

I guess by now not much of an introduction is needed for the ‘They Inspired’ series by Michiel Wigman. Single cask whisky, selected by the master himself, with a portrait of someone on the label that Michiel finds inspiring. We’ve … Continue reading

Caol Ila 15, 2006-2022, 53.3% – Michiel Wigman ‘They Inspired III’

In the third year of Michiel Wigman’s independent bottling carreer, the labels veered towards whisky icons, in this case showcasting Geert Bero from Belgium. You might know him from several festivals, Oldies & Goldies Whisky and Hotel Bero in Oostende. … Continue reading
